2018 VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2018 Volkswagen Passat has 3 recalls, the most serious involving brake caliper mounting bolts that may not have been tightened properly, allowing the caliper to shift and reducing stopping power or causing loss of vehicle control. A second brake recall covers caliper pistons with insufficient coating, which can degrade braking performance over time. On the lighting side, some vehicles may be missing a blocking cap on the headlight assembly that prevents the horizontal aim from being adjusted out of specification, which can reduce forward visibility 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.
