Recall Alert: 14,416 Volkswagen Touaregs

Volkswagen has issued a recall for 14,416 Touareg vehicles from the 2007-09 model years, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The recall is due to the fastening struts on the roof edge spoiler, which can crack and cause the spoiler to fall off even though the spoiler may not feel at all loose.

If the spoiler comes off while the vehicle is in motion, it could seriously injure a person outside the vehicle or collide with another car and possibly cause an accident.

Dealers will install reinforcing wedges to the roof edge spoiler for free. Owners may contact Volkswagen at 800-822-8987 or the NHTSA vehicle safety hotline at 888-327-4236.

Stephen, does the Porsche have the same type of roof edge spoiler as the VW?

Now thats aerodynamics at work!

Well i sure hope this will get corrected on most cars, as i sure don't want to see the spoiler of a car in front go off! Always hungry for more technology, let's just make sure it stays on the car ;)
