5 common questions answered
NHTSA recall information describes four safety-related areas for the 2016 Volkswagen Passat. A camshaft lobe may shear and reduce brake assist, lengthening stopping distance. A fuel rail may detach on certain vehicles, creating a fuel leak and possible fire if an ignition source is present. A missing headlight blocking cap can allow the aim to move out of specification and reduce visibility. Certain internal-use vehicles may also require action because regulatory compliance was not confirmed. Waiting can leave a known safety concern unresolved.
