Hazard: The push/actuating rod may not be properly screwed onto the brake booster and could become detached. As a result, there would no longer be any mechanical connection between the foot brake and the brake booster. Consequently, braking will be possible only by actuating the regulated emergency-braking function of the electronic parking brake (EPB) using the EPB switch on the central console.

What is this? Volkswagen cars have a part called the push rod. It may not be screwed on tight to the brake booster. If it comes loose, the brake may not work right.
What's happening? Some cars may lose the link between the foot brake and the brake booster. Then, the car can only stop using the emergency brake switch.
Does this affect me? This affects certain Volkswagen Arteon and Passat cars in some European countries.
What should I do? Stop driving and ask a mechanic or Volkswagen dealer to check your brakes right away.
