2016-17 Volkswagen Golf wagon, Passat recalled

Software bug could disable alert for inoperable lights


Volkswagen has issued a recall for its 2016 and 2017 model-year Golf wagon and Passat models over concerns the vehicles may not indicate when its lights are malfunctioning.

According to the German manufacturer, a software error may cause an inoperative dipped beam, main beam, daytime running light, rear fog light or indicator bulbs to not be indicated to the driver. Operative bulbs may also be shown to be inoperative.

Volkswagen says this could pose a hazard to occupants of the vehicle and to other road users, particularly in poor light conditions or at night.
