Massive VW Recall Affects Virginia, North Carolina
Posted on Dec 18, 2010
The possibility of leaking fuel lines has prompted Volkswagen to recall at least 377,00 cars in the United States, many of which are being driven in Virginia. The current recall affects the Golf, Rabbit, Jetta, Jetta Sportswagen, New Beetle and Rabbit models.
The issues stems from a plastic tab on the windshield fluid container that may rub against a fuel line and cause a leak to occur. Though there have been no reports of fire, injuries or crashes related to the fuel line issue, VW will be paying for its dealers to inspect all vehicles covered by the recall. Dealers will be either removing the plastic tab, adjust the clamp or replacing the fuel line. Volkswagen believes that this will correct the problem and prevent dangerous fires and accidents.
Volkswagen is not the only auto manufacturer to have announced massive recalls in the past year. Toyota faced multiple recalls, even lawsuits, after multiple safety issues were found in many of their vehicles. These issues, some surrounding faulty brakes, caused several serious accidents.
If you believe the recall affects you please click here to find a VW dealer near you.
The attorneys of Tavss Fletcher hope that by providing you with current recall information you can fix the potentially dangerous leak before it causes a serious accident or fire.
