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 2020-2023 Model
Year Jetta and 2022-2023 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.
