Volkswagen AG, Europe’s largest carmaker, is recalling 27,000 Golf station wagons and Jetta sedans in Europe to fix a fault with the heater.
The cars, which all have Volkswagen’s TDI diesel engine, were built in the second half of 2007 and the beginning of this year, Christian Buhlmann, a Volkswagen spokesman, said today in a telephone interview.
The power supply for the vehicles’ supplementary heater was in some cases improperly mounted, leading to overheating and a malfunction of the system, Buhlmann said. The cars have supplementary heaters because the diesel engine doesn’t provide enough heat to warm the interior.
Wolfsburg, Germany-based Volkswagen has written owners asking them to bring their cars to a mechanic. The repair takes 30 minutes and is free.
