1 Hazard Flashing Warning Light Unit problem

Failure Date: 06/01/2011

The hazard lights, turn signals and headlights on my car do not work. I've taken it in to an auto shop and they cannot find out what is wrong with the car. Hoping maybe there is a recall that I have missed.

2 Hazard Flashing Warning Light Unit problem

Failure Date: 10/12/2006

Emergency light switch (hazard switch) there was a vw recall issued to replace this switch that not only controls the hazard flashers but also the turn signals, in the jetta, golf, & gti. My beetle uses the same switch I am wondering why it was not included in this recall (vw recall vx). My switch has the same intermittent problem as described in the March 2005 recall letter, I will be replacing the switch on my own accord, but this bulletin should include the vw New Beetle model in my opinion.
