VW Recall Could Cause A Fire

Tuesday, 4. January 2011

The latest re-call of cars has come out of VW both of which have involved fuel pipe faults that could cause fires. The recall includes 370,000 cars consisting of Jettas, Jetta estates and Golf models sold between 2007 and 2009. A small plastic tab could cause a fuel pipe leak. The second fault is on the 2.5 litre Beetle. A clamp in the power steering system could pierce the fuel supply line. I was starting to wonder who on the planet would own a 2.5 litre Beetle and it was then announced that all owners lived in North America. Phew, for a brief moment I thought someone in the UK might own one! Good grief! If you are concerned about your car you can contact your nearest dealer who will be able to tell you if your car needs to be checked. Are you worried about the number of recalls we are seeing these days? By Graham Hill
