Volkswagen incorrect front windshield wiper software was installed which may prevent the wipers from activating.
The short version
Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. reported a problem with the body control module software. Here is what owners need to know.
Incorrect front windshield wiper software was installed which may prevent the wipers from activating. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 104, "Windshield Wiping and Washing Systems."
Windshield wipers that cannot be activated may lead to reduced visibility for the driver and increase the risk of a crash.
Take it to a dealer — they will update the body control module software, free of charge.
