Warranty - Solvent Marked Paint Finish

Number: V 94-16

Date: 08/15/94

Subject:
1995 VOLKSWAGEN GOLF/JETTA III VEHICLES WITH SOLVENT MARKED PAINT FINISH

Certain 1995 Golf III and Jetta III vehicles were received with solvent marked paint finishes. These vehicles were sold to retailers at a reduced price with NO PAINT WARRANTY. Dealers are required to sign an acknowledgement form upon receipt of each vehicle.





Affected vehicles are identified with this sticker affixed to the driver's side B-Pillar:

This sticker must remain on the vehicle until the retail sale is complete.





To further help identify these vehicles, the Dealer Campaign Screen (SF14) will indicate a "P" in the STATUS field. This screen must be reviewed in order to determine paint warranty eligibility for any 1995 model Golf III and Jetta III vehicle.

The STATUS field in the corporate VDF will also show a "P" and the comment field will read "SOLPOP-NO PAINT WARRANTY". Since there is no paint warranty on these vehicles, any claim with a paint part identifier will be forced for Corporate review (DA2, REQUIRES DSM AUTHORIZATION).
