A software error may cause the system to reset, resulting in a number of issues. The ignition may switch off and cause an engine stall, or the error may cause a loss of warning lights, exterior lighting or a failure of the rearview camera system. All of these scenarios increase the risk of a crash.
To resolve the issue, dealers will update the body control module software for free. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed Nov. 6, but those with further questions can contact VW customer service at 800-893-5298 (the automaker’s number for this recall is 57KL), the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration vehicle safety hotline at 888-327-4236, or visit its website to check their vehicle identification number and learn more.
