VW Recalls Golf, Jetta, Passat & GTI

The National Highway Transport Safety Administration announced Volkswagon is recalling 369,284 cars for possible defects that include leaking fuel pumps and defective hazard light switches.

19,284 Jetta, Golf, Beetle and Passat 2004-2005 cars are reported to have been recalled for leaking diesel fuel pumps that could possibly lead to fires. 300,000 Golf, GTI and Jetta 2000-2002 automobiles are also being recalled due to the hazard switch and flasher system that could malfunction as a result of high electrical current load from turn-signal bulbs.

The NHTSA also announced that Toyota is recalling 150,061 2004-2005 model Lexus ES 330 and Camry sedans due to a component in the seat belt buckle that could loosen when a rear-facing infant child seat is installed on the front passenger seat, which could lead to the front passenger side airbags deploying.
