Is this the same recall we've always had with the brake light switch, or another one?!

I read something about it in a local paper, but the article was a little confusing. It talked about the brake light, but inferred that it was only affecting those with the automatic tranny!?

Im under the understanding that this is a recall of the recall :

here is the other thread going on this : http://newbeetle.org/forums/questions-issues-concerns-problems-new-beetle/9178-beetle-recall-cnn-com.html

Hope that helps... I think they well start in december 2006 on it.

It is a recall of the recall.

The first was a voluntary 'goodwill' gesture by VAG.

This time around the Feds (NHTSA) are involved.
