2 recalls across 2 model years
The Volkswagen Dasher has 2 recalls covering the 1974 and 1975 model years, with the most serious being a hood latch corrosion issue on 1975 models where road salt can prevent both the primary latch and safety catch from holding the hood down, allowing it to fly up and block the driver's view while moving.
The 1974 model year has a separate concern: the accelerator cable can snap without warning, dropping engine speed to idle and cutting power unexpectedly while driving.
