NEWS:
Volkswagen recalls
more than 228,000 cars in US
YAHOO NEWS -- December
15, 2010 – Volkswagen has recalled more
than 228,000 vehicles in the United States amid
fears that faults could cause the vehicles' engines
to catch fire.
The German carmaker
recalled Jetta, Jetta Sportwagen, Golf and Rabbit
models manufactured between 2007 and 2009 due to a
small plastic tab that could cause a leak in the
fuel pipe, The National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) said in a statement.
VW further recalled the
New Beetle and New Beetle convertible vehicles
equipped with 2.5 liter engines made between 2006
and 2010, which have a clamp in the power steering
system that could also pierce the fuel supply line.
"If chafing occurs,
there is the potential for a fuel leak to develop.
Fuel leakage, in the presence of an ignition source,
could result in fire," the NHTSA said.
Some 228,236 cars could
be affected by the recall, it said.

Volkswagen recalls nearly 800,000 cars
Defective brake lights on
Golf, GTI, Jetta, New Beetle and R32 are a
potential safety hazard and should be
replaced.
February 26, 2007 - NEW
YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Around 800,000
Volkswagen vehicles have been recalled
Monday because of faulty brake lights, the
National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration said.
The 790,000 vehicles
include Jettas, New Beetles, Golfs, GTIs and
R32s...all in the United States.
The specific years and
models affected are:
- 1999-2005 Jetta
sedans
- 2001-2005 Jetta
wagons
- 1998-2007 New Beetle
- 2003-2007 New Beetle
Convertibles
- 1999-2006 Golfs and
GTIs
- 2004 R32
The malfunctioning brake
lights and brake light switches could fail
to come on or remain stuck on.
This recall expands on one
announced by Europe's No. 1 carmaker last
year, when 362,000 Jettas and New Beetles
were recalled due to the same defective
part.
Volkswagen said that
dealers will immediately be prepared to
accept service appointments to perform the
repair at no charge, but the notification
process isn't scheduled to begin until
April.
NHTSA did not say if any
injuries had been reported linked to the
defective brake lights.
