Recall Letter - For LED indicators

[Raglits]

Just had a letter through the door telling me to contact my dealer for an On-Board Supply Control Unit software update because there is a chance the the dashboard will not inform me if there is a problem with the front LED turn signals.

Just wondering how many others have got this recall notice?

I don't need an internal display to tell me if they're working or not, I can see from the inside if they're working or not, especially at night as they light up the road signs within about a quarter mile of the car they are that bright!!

It means that if the LED stops working, the car won't tell you. Where as it should tell you if any bulbs aren't working so can fix them. Othwerwise how would you know you have a brake light etc out.

I knew what it meant, but it only mentions a potential issue with the front LED turn signals, and I get that it's a safety issue, I was just wondering if anyone has any idea of the number of cars involved. Looking at TheSwede's post it obviously affects quite a few VAG vehicles

My last comment on the original post was meant tongue in cheek as you'd have to be blind to not realise they weren't working unless you only ever drove in the day... At night the front indicators are brighter than the s*dding headlights

According to the DVLA Recall notice R/2019/356 there are 23732 vehicles involved, so it looks like your not on your own!

Is it only mk3 cars or mk 3.5 as well so to speak??

If by 3.5 you mean facelift then they're affected as I have a facelift car (67 plate Xcellence)

 

[Leonfr140]

Haha yes the facelift, so should we be expecting a letter through or have only a few received them so far

I’ve had the software update completed when my car was in the garage for some work a month or so ago. No letter received but it’s all sorted.

Sounds like they're sending them out/doing the work in batches rather than thousands of people calling on the same day to make an appointment.

17 plate mk3.5 cupra st300 and have had the recall done.

Interesting..... BMW also has this issue but they didn’t bother sending out a recall note as the drivers don’t use them anyway.

Mine was done when it was serviced about a month ago. Glad if it makes the car safer.
Only thing I did have to do was reapply setting to fold the mirrors when I single press the lock as opposed to having to hold the button, hardly the worst thing.

We just got our recall for the Ateca for this issue. Seems reasonable to get it done.

My July 2018 FR had the software update applied yesterday. The service dept. knew it was for the indicators but didn't know what had been changed! However they stated that I won't notice any difference!

Ah. That has happened with mine too. Serviced on Friday, they mentioned the software update and my mirrors no longer fold when I lock up. I'll probably reapply the OBDeleven change when I get around to it.

Detected today. After the update I lost the un-lock / lock acoustic feedback settings (active via alarm signal). Also Acoustic lock as a setting I car locking menu. Easy done to activate it again with OBD11.

Mines going on for the update tomorrow, assuming I'll need to reset the folding mirrors afterwards looking at the responses above, I don't use the acoustics for lock/unlock, the mirrors moving is good enough

Had mine updated on Sat along with its service, defo cancelled my folding mirrors

Got my letter, booked in for next week. I have also set the one click folding mirrors via Carista so will see if it affects me as well. I have made a lot of changes with Carista in fact so I'll be quite disapointed if the updates wipes them all.
