Volkswagen affected vehicles have a brake line at the left rear wheel area that may not have been properly tightened.
The short version
Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. reported a problem with the foundation components hoses, lines/piping, and fittings. Here is what owners need to know.
The affected vehicles have a brake line at the left rear wheel area that may not have been properly tightened.
If the brake line was not properly tightened, it may leak brake fluid, causing a reduction in braking performance, lengthening the distance needed to stop the vehicle and increasing the risk of crash.
Take it to a dealer — they will tighten the brake line fitting, free of charge.
