Summary

Recall:

NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID: 00V280

Potential Number of Units Affected: 4,218

Summary: On certain passenger vehicles, one of two brackets used to bolt the front suspension control arm in the front of the vehicle to the body structure may have been inadequately welded. The control arm could gradually loosen and ultimately separate from its bracket in normal driving which could cause the vehicle to be difficult to control or result in loss of control.

Remedy: Dealers will inspect the bracket and if the welding is insufficient, will replace the control arm. The manufacturer has reported that owner notification began during September 2000. Owners who do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact VWoA at 1-800-822-8987.

Dates of Manufacture: August 2000

Manufacturer Recall No.: UX
