Switch to another Volkswagen Passat model year.
Safety recall notices and repair campaigns registered for the 2016 Volkswagen Passat in Canada.
Certain vehicles were built with headlights that may allow horizontal adjustment. This is not allowed under Canadian regulations.
Headlights that are not properly adjusted could cause reduced visibility or glare for oncoming drivers, and could increase the risk of a crash.
The company will notify owners by mail and instruct them to take their vehicle to a dealer to inspect the headlights. A blocking cap will be installed on the horizontal adjusters as necessary.
