| Description |
Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. (Volkswagen) is recalling certain model year 2011-2013 Jetta vehicles manufactured March 1, 2010, to November 30, 2012, and 2012-2013 Beetle vehicles manufactured March 1, 2011, to July 31, 2013. The durability of the rear trailing arms may be reduced in vehicles whose rear trailing arms have been previously deformed, such as a result of a rear or side-rear impact crash. |
| Consequences |
The reduced durability of the trailing arm may result in its sudden fracture, possibly causing loss of vehicle control and increasing the risk of a crash. |
| Corrective action |
Volkswagen will notify owners, and dealers will install a sheet metal inlay on the rear axle trailing arms designed to prevent a sudden loss of control in the event of trailing arm sudden fracture, free of charge. The recall began April 7, 2015. Owners may contact Volkswagen customer service at 1-800-893-5298. |
| Notes |
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov. |

4/22/2011 - John Maattala
I own a 2011 VW Jetta TDI 6600 miles Bought in feb 2011
Yesturday April 21, the Jetta developed a fuel leak in the engine compartment. upon having the jetta inspected at the dealer he said that the fuel rail line stainless steel was crack.
My question is what caused it to crack faulty material? or what? I hope VW of America will look into this The fuel was spraying all over the engine a possible a fire hazard
