NHTSA recall 09V248000
Structure · Volkswagen Group of America, Inc.
Details
What's wrong: The fastening struts on the roof edge spoiler can crack, causing the spoiler to become loose and possibly detach from the vehicle without warning, even though initially the spoiler may feel secure.
Why it matters: If this happens, the spoiler could cause injury by striking persons outside the vehicle or could become an obstacle to other drivers, possibly resulting in a crash.
The fix: Dealers will install reinforcement wedges to the roof edge spoiler free of charge. The recall is expected to begin during August 2009. Owner may contact Volkswagen at 1-800-822-8987.
