This document modifies the Volkswagen
Warranty Policies and Procedures
Manual.

Rear Brake Pad Limited Warranty Extension
Volkswagen has extended the Warranty coverage for the Rear Brake Pads from 1 year or 12,000 miles to 2 years or
24,000 miles, whichever occurs first from the vehicle’s original in-service date, for certain 2020-2025 Model Year Jetta
and certain 2022-2025 Model Year Taos vehicles.
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.
What is Covered
During the time/mileage period specified above, an authorized Volkswagen Dealer will replace Rear Brake Pads and any
parts and labor necessary to effectuate a repair at no cost to the owner if diagnosis confirms Rear Brake Pads have failed
from a Warranty defect or have failed due to premature wear.
Rotors may be covered as consequential damage if they have failed as a direct result of the Rear Brake Pads failure.
Dealers must provide detailed justification within the claim comments of SAGA to support reimbursement.
Volkswagen Dealers are required to refer to the Repair Manual in Elsa for repair instructions and wear limits for the
brake pads for each VIN.
If diagnosis reveals that the vehicle has an unrelated issue(s), diagnosis and any necessary repairs to correct such issue(s)
will not be covered under this warranty extension.
Transferability
This warranty extension is fully transferable to subsequent owners.
Additional information
This warranty extension does not cover damage or malfunctions caused by outside influence, such as an accident, or
vehicle misuse or neglect, nor does it cover repairs that are necessary for proper diagnosis of these conditions or that
are required to bring the vehicle up to factory specifications.
Vehicle Eligibility
To determine if a vehicle is eligible for the Rear Brake Pad Limited Warranty Extension, check the VIN in Elsa > Vehicle

Warranty Extension.
