VW just announced a voluntary recall for all cars equipped with DSG transmission. Ever since we picked up our long-term Jetta wagon TDI with this gearbox, we haven’t experienced any problem with engine stalling, nor gearbox went into “natural” and flashing warning lamps on the dashboard.
In the meantime, we are enjoying the crisp and fast shift of the Direct Shift Gearbox in our Jetta. We will be keeping everyone posted on how the gearbox turns on and whether our example is qualified for the voluntary recall on our future updates.
