An official CAA Japan notice concerns Passenger cars (Volkswagen VW Polo 1.2/77kW and others) - Repair. Automatic transmission hydraulic control system (mechatronics) defect. ■ Defective component (part name): Automatic transmission hydraulic control system (mechatronics). ■ Condition and cause of the structure, equipment or performance deemed noncompliant with standards: In the mechatronics of the ７-speed DSG automatic transmission, improper thread machining of the upper housing has left some housings with insufficient durability. As a result, fatigue accumulated through continuous hydraulic pressure changes in the accumulator may cause the upper housing to crack, reducing hydraulic pressure. In the worst case, driving force may no longer be transmitted and the vehicle may become unable to move. Published 2020-04-24.
What to do now
(Recall) 外-3028 ■ Corrective measures: Check the manufacturing identification mark on the upper housing inside the mechatronics in all vehicles. If affected, replace the upper housing with an improved part.
