Volkswagen Recalls 228,000 Jetta, Golf and Rabbit Vehicles

Washington, DC: Volkswagen is recalling about 228,236 model year 2007-2009 Jetta, Jetta Sportwagen, Golf and Rabbit as well as model year 2006-2010 new Beetle and new Beetle Convertible vehicles equipped with 2.5L engines.

The Jetta, Jetta Sportswagen, Golf and Rabbit vehicles may have a small plastic tab located on the windshield washer fluid reservoir that may chafe against and underhood fuel supply line. The new Beetle and the new Beetle Convertible vehicles may have a fastening clamp on a hydraulic hose of the power steering system that may be located in an improper position which could cause chafing against an underhood fuel supply line.

If chafing occurs, there is the potential for a fuel leak to develop. Fuel leakage, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in fire.
