If the vehicle is washed with a high-pressure cleaner, water may enter the interior, damage the control device for the tailgate and cause an incomplete short circuit with localised damage from scorching. When air enters through open windows, doors, or the sliding roof, the damage from scorching can develop into a fire.
The VW T6 Multivan / Transporter models (with an electric tailgate and an electric sliding door) affected by this recall were manufactured between 23. 7. 2015 – 8. 2. 2019.
