Description
The coolant pump may develop a small leak over time.
Remedy
Your authorized Volkswagen dealer will inspect and, if necessary, replace the coolant pump in your vehicle.
Currently at 19k had it replaced at 15,874 and it was the New 06J-121-026-BG version. So I don't plan on having it done just yet.

I'm doing it ASAP as I'll be taking a 500 mile road trip in a few weeks. Don't need the water pump deciding to go out on me in the middle of it. And it's free, so why wouldn't you?
This.
My 2014 is on the list. I had my initial pump replaced ~4k miles ago. I've already made an appointment for the service campaign since I have a BB pump.
Even though my current pump is functioning perfectly well right now, it might only be a matter of time before this pump craps out. I'd much rather control when/where the pump gets serviced rather than sitting on the roadside during the middle of the night waiting for a tow to an unknown dealership. Of course, that's assuming the current generation pump is less prone to a botched installation.

If its not leaking there nothing going to replace your old pump. My car is on the service campaign. Had my pump replace last august.

Per the Humble Mechanic,
GTI water pump update!
The 19k5 service action is out. This is to inspect and or replace the water pump on 2011-2014 GTI.
We will be inspecting the water pump.
If it is part number 06j-121-026- BG no replacement is required.
If it's NOT 06j-121-026-BG or newer, the water pump will be replaced.
Please pass this info on, or tag anyone you may know with a 2011-2014 GTI
If that is true than leak or no leak they will replace it if older than 06j-121-026-BG .
According to the Humble Mechanic (Facebook page here), they'll replace your pump if you don't have the BG version. Some people have still had problems with the BG version, though.
You beat me to it... :w00t:

My dealer said the pump would be replaced even if it wasn't leaking.

Cool I read Humble mechanic post on Facebook right after i posted here. I'm on the service campaign and got the BB revision last year. I don't know if I want a replacement pump if is isn't leaking. Stuck between a rock and a hard place.
