The 2004 Volkswagen Beetle has two recalls, the more serious being a fuel system fire risk on TDI diesel models where a fastener in the high-pressure fuel pump can fail and allow diesel fuel to leak near potential ignition sources.
The second recall is a compliance issue: the tire information label on certain vehicles incorrectly lists the vehicle as a five-passenger model when it seats four.
