The 1985 Volkswagen Golf has two recalls, the more serious being a fuel system integrity issue where the vehicle does not meet federal safety standards, raising the risk of fuel leakage that could lead to a fire.
The second recall involves the front seatbelt retractors, which may fail to lock during a sudden stop or collision. If the retractor does not engage, the belt cannot hold the driver or front passenger in place, increasing the risk of injury.
