2017 VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT Recalls Canada & USA

2017 VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2017 Volkswagen Passat has 4 recalls, the most serious involving the brake calipers: mounting bolts that were not tightened sufficiently can allow the caliper to shift, reducing braking force and raising the risk of losing control. The other three recalls are also brake-related. Brake line connections on certain vehicles can leak fluid slowly, lowering the level in the reservoir over time. As fluid drops, stopping distances can increase, and a warning light on the dash will eventually illuminate. There is also a headlight concern: a small blocking cap that prevents the horizontal aim from being adjusted may be missing, which means the headlights could be pointed out of specification and reduce visibility for the driver at night.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS

Defect

Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. (Volkswagen) is recalling certain 2012-2020 Volkswagen Passat and 2018-2019 Atlas vehicles. The blocking cap disabling the adjustment of the headlight's horizontal aim may not have been installed. As such, these vehicles fail to conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."

Safety Risk

Without the blocking cap, the headlight aim can be adjusted out of specification, reducing visibility and increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy

Volkswagen will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and, as necessary, block the headlight horizontal adjustment, free of charge. The recall began July 16, 2019. Owners may contact Volkswagen customer service at 1-800-253-2834. Volkswagen's number for this recall is 94L9.
