Details

What's wrong: Some vehicles may be equipped with a front sunroof glass panel that is susceptible to breakage in extremely cold weather/temperature conditions.

Why it matters: Should the sunroofâs glass break while the vehicle is in use, the falling glass could cut and injure the driver or passengers. It could also distract the driver, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Volkswagen will notify owners, and dealers will replace the front sunroof glass panel, free of charge. The safety recall began on August 7, 2012.
