WASHINGTON (AP) - Volkswagen of America is recalling 13,500 vehicles to fix
problems with a dual-clutch transmission that could lead to a
warning on the dashboard.
The recall affects 2009 model year and a limited number of
2010 Jetta, Jetta SportsWagen, GTI and Eos vehicles built between
September 2008 and August 2009.
Volkswagen says some of the vehicles could have a faulty
temperature sensor in the transmission, which could lead to the
warning lamp lighting up on the dashboard.
They said in rare cases, the transmission could shift into
neutral.
Volkswagen officials say there have been no crashes or
injuries reported.
Owners will have their vehicles inspected and repaired if
necessary.
Customers can call (800) 444-8982 for more information.
