Hello everyone,
I have recently purchased a new-to-me 2015 Passat TDI SE that I has 84,400km and one owner. It took a while to find something in good shape and I'm loving the car so far.
Carfax and VW Canada shows that there is a pending open recall on the car: TDI GEN3 PHASE 2 AEM
VW Canada says to speak with the dealership on this, which I have and they said to book the car for the repair.
Now my question here is regarding the warranty as per the documentation.
" The warranty period for the “Extended Emissions Warranty” limited warranty extension shall be the greater of:
- 11 years or 261,000 km, whichever occurs first, from the vehicle’s original in-service date; OR
- 5 years or 97,000 km, whichever occurs first, from the date and mileage of Phase 1 of the emissions modification. At the time of the subsequent Phase 2 modification, the extended warranty will be honoured for 5 years or 97,000 km, whichever occurs first, from the date and mileage of the completion of Phase 2."
I called the dealer that the car was serviced at and phase 1 was completed in 2017 when the owner was receiving the car.
I'm uncertain if phase 2 I would need to get done ASAP or if there is a reason for me to wait?
If this is the wrong section, I apologize. I was going to post this in the NMS Passat section but thought that this may be a bit more fitting.
