According to the National Consumer Commission, Volkswagen has indicated that these vehicles are being recalled due to a possible loss of their brake assist.
According to Volkswagen, the vehicles’ braking systems are still functional, but may require extra effort when applying the brakes.
If this problem occurs while the vehicle is moving, it may require a longer braking distance and increase the possibility of an accident.
Volkswagen urges owners of the affected vehicles to visit their nearest Volkswagen dealer for a free inspection.
