Recall Alert: 2011-2015 Volkswagen Touareg Hybrid
CARS.COM
Vehicles Affected: Approximately 825 model-year 2011-15 Volkswagen Touareg Hybrid SUVs manufactured between March 20, 2010, and April 11, 2015
The Problem: The hybrid battery tray may not drain water sufficiently; if water collects in the tray, it may cause an electrical short in the high-voltage battery, increasing the risk of a fire.
The Fix: Dealers will install a fitted drain valve to allow water to drain properly for free.
What Owners Should Do: Volkswagen will begin notifying owners late this month. Owners can call the automaker at 800-893-5298, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s vehicle-safety hotline at 888-327-4236 or go to www.safercar.gov for more info.
