This recall is for accessory rear hatch spoilers that were installed on a new vehicle or sold as an accessory part at a Volkswagen dealership. On certain vehicles, the rear spoiler might not be properly attached to the hatch. As a result, the spoiler could detach from the vehicle while driving.
A spoiler that detaches from the vehicle could create a hazard for other drivers and nearby people.
Volkswagen will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealership to replace the rear hatch spoiler.
The compliance label may list the wrong tire size and recommended tire inflation pressures. Using a tire that is not properly inflated, or that is the wrong size, could cause a tire failure or result in poor driving performance.
A tire failure could increase the risk of a crash.
The company will notify owners by mail. Owners will be instructed to take their vehicle to a dealer to inspect and replace the compliance label as required.
On certain vehicles, the rear suspension coil springs may not have been properly manufactured and could break over time. This could cause damage to a rear tire, resulting in rapid air loss and/or tire failure.
A rear tire failure could affect vehicle control. Additionally, a broken coil spring could also create a road hazard for other motorists. Both of these conditions may increase the risk of a crash.
The company will notify owners by mail. Owners will be instructed to take their vehicle to a dealer to have both of the rear axle coil springs replaced. If a broken coil spring is found, the rear tires should be inspected for damage and replaced as required.
