I have a 2002 Jetta and got a recall notice in the mail a couple of weeks ago. It is for a brake light switch, is anyone familiar with this repair?

And another 30 to get the grease prints out of the interior, and another trip to have them see that they broke the lower trim panel, then yet ANOTHER trip to have them replace the trim panel they broke since it was not an in-stock item.
If you really want to avoid the dealer, you can buy the part cheap and do it yourself, but why. See above. The part costs about $4.
Neftin VW of Thousand Oaks, CA wants $12.35 for the brake light switch. They told me it be free, if they installed, being a recall and all. I told them, 'You can touch my Jetta when you can pry the steering wheel from my cold dead hands"!pfiermka said:Yes, I saw that, I just picked up the switch at the stealer, $4. It will be easy to replace.
