I have a 2002 volkswagen jetta and i have a brake light switch issue (brake light stays on and a dct(p0571) is set) that was described in the recall/replacement, but the vin group that this applies to is 3vw---9m-ym000089 to 3vw---9m-2m053565, as you can see, mine is just out side the high vin. The vin range should be readdressed to include all 2002 model jettas with cruise control. Thank you for your prompt…

Headlight lens become very milky. Light will not shine on road. Can't see the road or other cars. Can cause damage and death to others. Volkswagen should make them lasts longer and replace all milky headlighs with new ones. All 1999-2005 jettas 1998-2005 passats have this problem. Go to any volkswagen dealer and you will see the problem.
