The 1975 Volkswagen Scirocco has 3 recalls, the most serious being brake lines routed inside the passenger compartment that can corrode and leak, causing partial brake failure and a significantly longer stopping distance.
A second recall affects vehicles where an aftermarket radio was installed and the hole in the fender apron used to route the antenna cable was not properly sealed. Water thrown up by the rotating front tire can enter the cabin through that gap, travel down the antenna cable, and reach the fuse and relay board, where it can cause electrical faults. The third recall covers vehicles equipped with catalytic converters, where damage to the catalyst itself or to surrounding components is possible if the issue goes unaddressed.
