2011 VOLKSWAGEN BEETLE Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2011 Volkswagen Beetle has two recalls, the more serious being a rear suspension trailing arm that can fracture suddenly, causing loss of vehicle control. The trailing arm connects the rear wheel to the chassis, and if it breaks while driving, the affected wheel can shift unpredictably, raising the risk of a crash. The second recall involves the ignition and keyless entry system on vehicles with an automatic transmission and manual handbrake: the system can allow the key to be removed while the gear selector is not in Park, which can lead to an unintended rollaway that may injure bystanders or cause a collision.

Defect

Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. (Volkswagen) is recalling certain 2015-2019 GTI, 2015-2016 and 2018-2019 Golf, 2012-2019 Beetle and Beetle Convertible, 2017-2019 Golf SportWagen and 2011-2018 Jetta vehicles equipped with an automatic transmission, manual handbrake and keyless entry. A build-up of silicate on the shift lever micro switch contacts may enable the key to be removed from the ignition when the transmission shift lever is not in "Park."

Safety Risk

Removing the key while the shift lever is in a position other than "Park" increases the risk of an unintended vehicle rollaway that may result in personal injury or a crash.
