What NHTSA recorded

On certain special edition triple white sedan vehicles, an incorrect adhesive may have been used to attach the roof spoiler to the rear glass of the vehicle.

Possible consequence

If this happens, the spoiler could cause injury by striking persons outside the vehicle or could become an obstacle to other drivers, possibly resulting in a crash.

Dealers will replace the roof spoiler on these vehicles. The recall began on february 29, 2008. Owners may contact vwoa at 1-800-822-8987.
