2014 VOLKSWAGEN BEETLE Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2014 Volkswagen Beetle has 5 recalls, the most serious being two separate fire risks: transmission fluid leaking near hot surfaces on 1.8T models with torque-converter automatic transmissions, and a fuel rail leak that can ignite if it contacts an ignition source. A third recall covers a rollaway risk on vehicles equipped with an automatic transmission, manual handbrake, and keyless entry. The ignition system can allow the key to be removed while the shifter is not in Park, leaving the vehicle free to roll. On the sunroof side, the glass panel can shatter when the car hits a pothole or rough pavement, sending glass into the cabin and potentially distracting the driver. There is also a lighting concern where headlight modules were built without horizontal adjustment caps, leaving the headlight aim able to shift out of position and reducing forward visibility.
