What This Recall Means

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS

What Happened
Your vehicle's headlight control module has incorrect software, which may cause the low beam headlights to turn off when high beam lights are on, reducing light output.
Risk if Unfixed
If this happens, it may increase your risk of being involved in a crash, especially at night or in low-light conditions.

How to Get This Fixed

Free Fix
You'll receive a notice from Volkswagen, and they'll update the headlight control module software for free at a dealership, so there's no cost to you.
