Certain states have voluntarily adopted California-mandated emissions warranties only for vehicles
equipped to meet California’s Partial Zero Emissions Vehicle (PZEV) emissions requirements. These
vehicles can be identified by inspecting the Vehicle Emission Control Information Label located under the
hood. Because of this, the owner of a vehicle equipped to meet California’s PZEV emissions requirements
living in one of these states may have warranty rights that exceed the extended warranty offering
described in this bulletin. Owners should refer to the warranty information that came with their vehicle for
additional details as to whether or not this applies to their vehicle.
The vehicle’s original in-service date is defined as the date the vehicle was delivered to either the original
purchaser or the original lessee; or if the vehicle was first placed in service as a “demonstrator” or
“company” car, on the date such vehicle was first placed in service.
This warranty extension is fully transferable to subsequent owners.
What is the Problem
Volkswagen has determined that under specific conditions, certain deficiencies affecting the secondary air
pressure sensor could make the secondary air pressure sensor susceptible to degraded performance. If
this happens, the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) on the instrument cluster may illuminate due to the
presence of specific fault codes caused by a faulty secondary air pressure sensor. (The MIL is part of the
on-board diagnostic system. Please refer to the owner’s manual for additional information about the MIL.)
In some locales, an illuminated Malfunction Indicator Lamp could cause the vehicle to fail an IM emissions

Warranty Information
inspection, and the vehicle registration application could be denied. Volkswagen has not identified any
vehicle drivability concerns related to this issue.
Please be aware that other conditions (unrelated to the issue described in this bulletin) may cause the MIL
in the vehicle to illuminate. Customers should be prepared to cover all diagnosis and repair costs for
these other, unrelated conditions.
What does this Warranty Extension Cover
This warranty extension covers only the diagnosis and replacement of the secondary air pressure sensor.
What is Not Covered Under This Warranty Extension
This warranty extension will not cover:
 Any damage or malfunctions caused by installation of non-EPA or non-CARB certified parts, or
parts that alter the performance of the engine, engine controls, or exhaust system, such as the
installation of engine management components (“chipped” or “tuned” ECMs) not approved by
Volkswagen.
 Other conditions unrelated to the secondary air pressure sensor that may cause the MIL to
illuminate. These conditions may require repairs that are needed for proper diagnosis of the
underlying condition. Any repairs that are (1) necessary for proper diagnosis of these other
conditions or (2) required to bring the vehicle’s emission system up to factory specifications are not
covered by this warranty extension.
 Damage or malfunctions caused by outside influence, such as damage due to an accident, or
vehicle misuse or neglect, as well as repairs that are (1) necessary for proper diagnosis of these
other conditions or (2) required to bring the vehicle up to factory specifications are not covered by
this warranty extension.
Repair Procedure
Refer to Technical Bulletin Instance Number 2028415 for the applicable repair procedure.
