On the brake recall: VW is recalling some 58,000 Passat
vehicles. The affected vehicles may have a vacuum line that
mayfracture and become disconnected at low ambient temperatures.
If this happens, the brake power assist can become inoperative,
and the driver will experience increased effort to
apply the brake and therefore possible increased vehicle
stopping distance. That can lead to an accident.
On the wiper motor recall: Volkswagen is recalling 49,900
model year 2006 Passat ‘6’ generation passenger
vehicles. The wiper motor may fail during heavy rain due
to excessive moisture entering the wiper motor. If this happens,
the wipers can become inoperative. This could lead to reduced
visibility increasing the risk of a crash without warning.
Dealers will install a special cover and sealing kit.
