Volkswagen recalls Touran EcoFuel to service

• Affected production period September 2005 – Mai 2009


• Replacement of front gas bottles

Wolfsburg, 31 May 2016 – Volkswagen has issued a global recall for approx.
5,900 Touran EcoFuel vehicles from model years 2005 to 2009, of which
approx. 3,800 are in Germany. The campaign will replace the front gas
bottles at service centres as a precautionary measure. On some of these
vehicles, the outer skin may possibly no longer provide the necessary
corrosion protection due to damage caused by external influences. Fitting
will be carried out at authorised Volkswagen service centres.

The problem was detected during internal tests and has already been
rectified in current production. Vehicle owners will be contacted directly by
Volkswagen. Repairs at service centres will be free of charge and will be
carried out as quickly as possible by arrangement.
