Official summary

When opening a VW Technician Helpline VTA case for missing buypack components during the market introduction period, be sure to include a readable picture of the inventory label on the buypack (shown in picture below), as well as a picture that shows the complete buypack. If possible, identify missing components and take pictures before opening buypack.

What a TSB means. Technical service bulletins are repair guidance manufacturers send to dealers — they are not recalls, and repairs are not automatically free (warranty extensions are an exception worth checking). The full document is available via NHTSA’s vehicle lookup.
