VW recalls 442,000 Jettas and Beetles
Print Edition
VOLKSWAGEN is recalling 442,000 Jettas and Beetles to fix a problem that can cause rear suspension failure if the cars aren’t fixed properly after a crash.
The recall covers 2011 through 2013 Jettas and 2012 through 2013 Beetles.
VW said in documents posted by US safety regulators that if rear trailing arms are damaged in a crash and not repaired correctly, they can fracture suddenly. That can cause loss of control and possibly a crash. Trailing arms link the axle to the frame.
The company said there have been no crashes or injuries in the US, but there were reports of fractured trailing arms mainly in Asian countries.
Dealers will inspect trailing arms for damage and install sheet metal to help prevent a loss of vehicle control.
