Campaign:
07V442000 on 09/18/2007
Component:
Exterior lighting:headlights
Manufactured:
10/30/2005 - 09/26/2007
Affected:
340,000
Defect:
Certain vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 108, "lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment." some vehicles may not have had a required cap installed which disables the headlight horizontal aim and some vehicles may contain a cap that disables the vertical aiming screw.
Consequence:
Noncompliance can inhibit proper headlamp aim adjustment for roadway illumination, improperly aimed headlamps could cause reduced road visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.
Correction:
Dealers will inspect for the presence of a cap in the socket of the low beam horizontal aiming screw and install one if missing, and inspect for the presence of a cap in the socket of the vertical aiming screw and if present, the cap will be removed. the recall will begin on october 31, 2007. owners may contact vw at 1-800-822-8987.

Campaign:
09V093000 on 03/19/2009
Component:
Fuel system, gasoline:storage:tank assembly
Manufactured:
01/16/2007 - 03/10/2008
Affected:
5,000
Defect:
Volkswagen is recalling approximately 5,000 my 2008 r32 (5th generation) vehicles. when certain driving conditions are accompanied by high ambient temperatures, the fuel tank ventilation valve may not remain fully closed. if this happens, liquid fuel may enter the fuel tank venting system and migrate into the evaporative system, saturating the carbon canister. should this occur while driving, the vehicle may experience performance issues (i.e., vehicle jerking) and the malfunction indicator lamp (mil) in the instrument cluster could illuminate. fuel could leak from the evaporative system leak detection pump filter.
Consequence:
A fuel leak, in the presence of an ignition source, could lead to a vehicle fire.
Correction:
Dealers will replace the fuel tank ventilation valve with an improved valve free of charge. the recall began on june 2, 2009. owners may contact volkswagen at 1-800-822-8987.
Notes:
Volkswagen recall no. 20p6/s2.owners may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty 1-800-424-9153), or go to <a href=http://www.safercar.gov>http://www.safercar.gov</a> .
