    VW T5 TDI recall

    Hi, I just received a recall on my T5 transporter for something to do with the resonances in certain operating conditions could cause over the long term cause cracks on an injection pipe. When I googled the recalls it says that it's for 2009 - 2011 models. Mine is a 2005. Does that mean it's not affected ? Or do I book Er in and get them looked at. Cheers.

    Yeah, your vehicle isnt listed. Interesting as to why you've recieved notification of it?

    Id maybe give the dealer a call to be 100%

    Is there an official location for such recalls to be listed?

    fit rubber clips to the injection pipes to absorb the vibration

    I have a 2011 T5 ... but I didn't get the letter in the mail ... so I called VW ... and my VIN is not listed in the recall. So the recall must apply to some subset of 2009-2011 vehicles.
