The 2009 Volkswagen Eos has 2 recalls, the more serious being a potential failure of the anti-lock brake and electronic stability control system that can cause loss of vehicle control during braking.
The other recall affects vehicles equipped with the Direct-Shift Gearbox (DSG): a temperature sensor wiring harness may have been poorly crimped during assembly, which can cause the connector to fail and disrupt transmission operation.
