During Oct. 2015, VW informed the National Highway Safety Administration that camshaft lobe problems affect certain 2015/2016 VW vehicles built in North America.

While it doesn’t know what causes the cam’s fuel and vacuum pump lobe to go bung, VW is investigating. If your TSI engine’s camshaft fails, braking effort increases and the engine power is reduced. The engine malfunction lamp illuminates.
VW of America’s communication regarding the engine ailment problem is inconsistent. For example, the press release says the 1.8-liter TSI and 2.0-liter (TSI not mentioned) are involved. In VW speak, the 2.0-liter sans TSI badge is a non turbocharged engine that VW used in the base Jetta prior to 2015. Its letter to the NHTSA doesn’t list the GTI, which employs the 2.0 TSI mill. There’s language that points to 1.8-liter TSI engines built before August 2015 as potential troublemakers. 2015/16 model-year Passats, Jettas, Golfs and Beetles use that power source.
VW’s dealer campaign code 23R1, however, lists both the 1.8-liter and 2.0-liter TSI engines as part of the safety notice. Dealers were also informed that there’s a stop-sale order on new or used vehicles with the problematic engines. If your engine’s camshaft fails, VW will replace it with existing parts. By March 2016, VW says it develop a long-term fix.
