What's wrong: Volkswagen group of america, Inc. (Volkswagen) is recalling certain 2017 Jetta vehicles equipped with a 1.4L engine. These vehicles have an engine that may seize due to an improper casting of the block.
Why it matters: If the engine seizes, the wheels may suddenly lock up, causing a loss of vehicle control and increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Volkswagen will either buy back the vehicle or replace the engine block, free of charge. The recall began February 2017.
