Official summary
The removal and installation of the headliner on the Passat can be time consuming and difficult in some areas. Properly installing the headliner, seals and pillar trims will alleviate many issues that would normally be attributed to a headliner cut to short.
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.
