Recall Alert: 2017 Volkswagen Passat

CARS.COM

Vehicles Affected: Approximately 1,000 model-year 2017 Volkswagen Passat sedans

The Problem: Brake fluid may leak slowly from some of the brake line connections, resulting in low brake-fluid levels, lengthening the distance needed to stop the vehicle and increasing the risk of a crash.

The Fix: Dealers will replace the affected brake lines for free.

What Owners Should Do: Volkswagen will begin notifying owners in March. Owners can call the automaker at 800-893-5298, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s vehicle-safety hotline at 888-327-4236 or visit www.safercar.gov to check their vehicle identification number and learn more.
