VW ABS control module recall earlier this year did not include 2010 Touaregs. However, I own 2 of them and both have an ABS module issue. As does my mother in law's 2010 tiguan. Please look into extending the recall to these modest. Attached is the $2,839 estimate from a VW dealer to replace the ABS module. That is an absurd amount of money to pay for a gently used car with low mileage which has been regularly maintained. Thank you.

Touareg

  • 7,000 miles
During the process of filling the almost empty tank with diesel fuel, an electrical short (per report of the local fire department that was called in) created heat that was able to melt part of the tank in the area of the filling nozzle, completely melted the rubber strap holding the fuel cap and melted/burned the splash ring on the fuel dispenser. The metallic ring of the filling nozzle turned so hot, that fumes/smoke became visible. Due to the position of the battery beneath the drivers seat, the fd was not able to disconnect the battery.
