The 1991 Volkswagen Jetta has 3 recalls, with the most serious being a suspension defect where engine sub-frame bolts can shear off, allowing a front wheel control arm to pivot and pull that wheel badly out of alignment, which can cause a crash.
The brake system also has a concern: some vehicles were fitted with front brake hoses that are too short, causing them to stretch and crack over time, which can lead to brake fluid leaking out and a significant loss of stopping power. On the cruise control side, a lock nut on the throttle servo rod may not have been tightened to the correct specification, which can allow the rod's adjustment to shift and raise engine idle speed, extending the distance needed to bring the vehicle to a stop.
