The dealer, vw aus, vw Europe, vw Singapore can’t get my allspace’s sunroof lights to work.

I suggested a hardware issue(lights or control module, but they’re adamant it’s a setting that needs to be enabled...

The lights work when given 12v directly, but no voltage is being supplied to them from the car.

4 visits so far- maybe 5. Getting very over it.

I still your VIN on the list?

My Allspace is only a couple VIN short of the recall list, so I assume mine doesn’t even have the leds installed

[Simonr23]

Yeah I’m on the list.

Yeah, got my email this morning.

I got the email as well, but my Allspace doesn’t have the sunroof. Strange.

Anyone know what work will be done to fix the issue? Don’t think it was clear from the email or that article. Is it a replacement of the sunroof LED module with another one? I do like the existing sunroof LEDs.

It’s basically installing in-line fuses to the wiring of the sunroof lights. There might be more to it, but that’s the simplest way of putting it.

My car isn’t on the list anymore, even though I have a roof and have non-functional lights(from new) the dealer and vw can’t get them working from the car computer. They light up when externally powered.

There was already another thread about this, started in December. "Recent interior light recall"
My car has been fixed in early January. They installed a fuse and enabled the settings in the infotainment unit by uploading a new firmware.

My car booked in April for fix.

Do we have confirmation on what’s being done in the recall? There is a mix of people that have had their sunroof led lighting just disabled and some say that a fuse is installed inline and their lights still work?

My car had the newest fix applied today during a seat warranty visit. Apparently it’s fixed it
