Manufacturer: Volkswagen Of America, Inc
Description:
Volkswagen is recalling certain model year 2011 jetta vehicles, manufactured from march 2010 through march 2011. these vehicles may have an electrical wiring and fuse layout where the converter box is protected by the same fuse used by the signal horn and the anti-theft alarm system. should that fuse be blown, the converter box will be disconnected from the power supply which, in turn, will shut off applications such as the engine management system, lighting system, and wipers.
