Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Brake lamps on 2001 new beetle come on and stay on even though the vehicle is shut off and parked. this is similar to nhtsa campaign # 03v265000 (7-25-03). i checked vw and they told me the recall was vin specific and my 2001 new beetle was not included. it seems there may be more units affected than originally thought.*ak
