Volkswagen recalls nearly 800,000 cars
Defective brake lights on
Golf, GTI, Jetta, New Beetle and R32 are a
potential safety hazard and should be
replaced.
February 26, 2007 - NEW
YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Around 800,000
Volkswagen vehicles have been recalled
Monday because of faulty brake lights, the
National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration said.
The 790,000 vehicles
include Jettas, New Beetles, Golfs, GTIs and
R32s...all in the United States.
The specific years and
models affected are:
The malfunctioning brake
lights and brake light switches could fail
to come on or remain stuck on.
This recall expands on one
announced by Europe's No. 1 carmaker last
year, when 362,000 Jettas and New Beetles
were recalled due to the same defective
part.
Volkswagen said that
dealers will immediately be prepared to
accept service appointments to perform the
repair at no charge, but the notification
process isn't scheduled to begin until
April.
NHTSA did not say if any
injuries had been reported linked to the
defective brake lights.

Yes, check the fuses. It should tell you which it is on the fuse box cover. Or you could just pull all the fuses out. Also you may have a loose earth connection.

pull out the fuses one by one, look inside the fuse. if the metal conductor that is inside the plastic part then that fuse is bad
