Turn signals and or hazard flashers fail to blink, or flash. First it would blink only a few times and then stop, after 2 more day is not working at all. This case is similar to recall #04V584000, but the car type is VW new Beetle 2001.

Turn signal/hazard flasher on 2001 Volkswagen new Beetle failed in same way as described in your recall #04V584000-which applies to other models but not new Beetle. Occurrence date: 12 January 2006, mileage 64,200 approx. This is same behavior already identified by you. I request that investigation be opened to broaden the recall to this model. I am trying to find replacement part.
