What are the defects?

The roof spoiler can partially or completely detach from the vehicle, due to the use of an unsuitable adhesive.

What are the hazards?

If the roof spoiler was to detach while driving it could increase the likelihood of an accident that may endanger other road users. This could increase the risk of an accident and injury to vehicle occupants or other road users. In the event of a serious accident this may result in death.

Affected consumers will be contacted directly by Volkswagen to organise an inspection and repair, free of charge.
