Feb 18th, 2008 by RJ Menezes

Volkswagen of America is issuing a recall for 510 units of the 2008 “Triple White Edition” New Beetle because an incorrect adhesive may have been used to attach the roof spoiler to the rear glass.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says the recall is expected to begin around February 29. “The spoiler could become loose or fall from the vehicle without warning, even though initially the spoiler may feel secure,” said the federal agency in its recall summary of the vehicle. “If this happens, the spoiler could cause injury by striking persons outside the vehicle or could become an obstacle to other drivers, possibly resulting in a crash.”

Sounds pretty serious to me. This is a minor error that could cause a big headache if not fixed. Not to worry though,  Volkswagen dealers will replace the roof spoiler on the affected vehicles. Owners can also contact VW of America at (800) 822-8987 for more information or if they have any more questions. Anybody who is affected by this should get to their dealer right away to avoid any problems.
