Yes, the CURT 11234 is designed for Volkswagen Passat Sedan models from 2012 to present. Confirm your vehicle matches this specification before purchasing.
The CURT 11234 is rated for a maximum of 2,000 lbs trailer weight and 200 lbs tongue weight when used as a weight-carrying hitch. You must never exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity.
Non-trailer (wheel-less) loads applied to this hitch must be supported by CURT 18050 stabilizing straps. Failure to properly support non-trailer loads will void the product warranty. See the CURT catalog or visit www.curtmfg.com for further information on the 18050 straps.
The CURT 11234 is designed for use with ballmount #D-55001 or #45501. Euro mount options are available: #45571 (1-7/8" ball) and #45572 (2" ball). Consult CURT or your installer for specific compatibility with your trailer coupler.
No, drilling is not required. The hitch uses existing mounting points on the vehicle's bumper beam supports and drain holes in the trunk pan.
Yes, fascia trimming is required. You must mark and trim the rear plastic fascia using the Fascia Trim Diagram provided. Dimensions are approximate (2.50 in and 4.75 in from the center of the vehicle), so confirm fit prior to trimming. If present, the underbody panel must also be trimmed using the Underbody Trim Diagram (5.50 in from center).
Required tools: ratchet, torque wrench, 3/4" socket, 10mm socket, 9" extension, T-15 and T-25 Torx bits, rotary cutting tool, masking tape, tape measure, silicone caulk, and safety glasses. Safety glasses must be worn at all times during installation.
Two people may be required to ease installation. If you are hesitant to undertake this task on your own, contact an authorized CURT installer for additional assistance. Technical support is available at 877-287-8634.
The kit includes: 2× carriage bolts 1/2-13 UNC 1-1/2" (part 10-10287), 4× hex cap screws 1/2-13 UNC 5-1/2" (part 10-10477), 2× serrated flange nuts 1/2-13 UNC (part 20-00062), 4× conical toothed washers 1/2" (part 30-00149), 2× 0.250" spacer plates (part CM-SP62), and 2× nut plate weldments (part 11234-NPWA).
You must remove: the 3 fascia screws and clips holding the rear plastic fascia (retain 2 for reinstallation, return 1 to owner), the spare tire from inside the trunk, and the 2 rearmost rubber drain plugs from the bottom of the trunk pan (return to owner). If present, also remove the underbody panel by removing 5 screws and 5 plastic nuts (save for reinstallation).
1. Remove fascia screws, clips, spare tire, and drain plugs. 2. Mark and trim rear fascia and underbody panel as needed. 3. Flex fascia and place nut plates on bumper beam supports. 4. Seal drain holes with silicone caulk. 5. Raise hitch into position, aligning slots with nut plate holes. 6. Loosely secure with 1/2-13 x 5" hex bolts and washers. 7. Insert spacers and 1/2-13 x 1-1/2" carriage bolts in drain holes, secure from below with flange nuts. 8. Torque all fasteners. 9. Return spare tire and reinstall fascia screws and underbody panel.
Torque all 1/2" x 1-1/2" hardware (carriage bolts at drain holes) to 110 ft-lbs. Torque all 1/2" x 5-1/2" hardware (hex cap screws at nut plates) to 75 ft-lbs. Use a torque wrench to ensure proper tightness.
Loosely secure the hitch into position first using the 1/2-13 x 5" hex bolts and washers. After inserting the spacers and carriage bolts at the drain holes, torque all fasteners in the final step: 1/2" x 1-1/2" hardware to 110 ft-lbs and 1/2" x 5-1/2" hardware to 75 ft-lbs.
The drain holes in the trunk pan are sealed with silicone caulk before inserting the spacer plates and carriage bolts. This prevents water intrusion into the trunk area after the drain plugs are replaced with the hitch fasteners.
After installation, periodically check that all fasteners are tight and all structural components are sound. Verify that the hitch is properly aligned and that the fascia and underbody panel are securely reinstalled. Check that the spare tire is returned to the trunk.
Periodically check the receiver hitch to ensure that all fasteners are tight and that all structural components are sound. The manual does not specify an exact interval, but regular inspection before towing is recommended.
Safety glasses must be worn at all times while installing this product. Before beginning installation, read all instructions thoroughly. Using proper tools will greatly improve the quality of the install and reduce the time required. If you are hesitant to undertake this task, contact an authorized CURT installer.
