Volkswagen will start recalling 340,000 cars in the U.S. at the end of October to fix headlights that cannot be aligned properly, increasing the risk of a crash, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The recall includes the Volkswagen Jetta from model years 2005-’08 and the 2006-’08 Volkswagen GTI, Rabbit and R32 models.
“Improperly aimed headlamps could cause reduced road visibility, increasing the risk of a crash,” said the NHTSA in a summary of the Volkswagen recall.
NHTSA says “some vehicles may not have had a required cap installed that disables the headlight horizontal aim, and some vehicles may contain a cap that disables the vertical aiming screw.” Owners of the vehicles in question can contact VW at (800) 822-8987. The recall is expected to begin on or about October 31.
