FREE1 OPEN RECALL

NHTSA campaign 19V389000 · 662,185 vehicles affected

Defect

Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. (Volkswagen) is recalling certain 2012-2020 Volkswagen Passat and 2018-2019 Atlas vehicles. The blocking cap disabling the adjustment of the headlight's horizontal aim may not have been installed. As such, these vehicles fail to conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108, Lamps

Consequence

Without the blocking cap, the headlight aim can be adjusted out of specification, reducing visibility and increasing the risk of a crash.

Corrective Action

Volkswagen will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and, as necessary, block the headlight horizontal adjustment, free of charge. The recall began July 16, 2019. Owners may contact Volkswagen customer service at 1-800-253-2834. Volkswagen's number for this recall is 94L9.

Defect

Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. (Volkswagen) is recalling certain 2012-2014 Passat vehicles, equipped with diesel engines and Direct-Shift Transmissions (DSG). The vehicle's underbody heat shield may not be long enough to protect the right half-shaft grease boot from heat, potentially resulting in a grease leak.

Consequence

If the leaking grease contacts a heated surface, such as the exhaust system and/or the diesel particulate filter (DPF), it could increase the risk of fire.

Corrective Action

Consequence

Corrective Action

Recall Service & Dealership Highlights

Safety Comes First

NHTSA recall information identifies air bag inflators that may explode or rupture during a crash, potentially sending sharp metal fragments toward occupants. Another air bag concern may interrupt the driver's frontal air bag connection, while a headlight issue can allow aim to shift and reduce visibility. On applicable diesel vehicles, heat near the half-shaft may contribute to a grease leak and fire risk. Electrical connector corrosion, fuel leakage, and transmission-fluid leakage can also increase fire risk. Waiting leaves a known safety concern unresolved. Because the remedy is defined by Volkswagen, bring your Passat to an authorized dealer for a VIN check and free recall repair.
