NHTSA recall 11V466000
Engine And Engine Cooling · Volkswagen Group of America, Inc.
Details
What's wrong: Some vehicles had a stainless steel exhaust tip installed at the port during importation. These exhaust tips may extend beyond the original length of the factory-installed exhaust pipes. It is possible for inadvertent contact to occur with a person's leg.
Why it matters: If the tailpipe extension is hot during inadvertent contact, a burn could occur.
The fix: Dealers will inspect and replace the stainless steel exhaust tips as necessary free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin during November 2011.
