Default 6 years later...recall letter in the mail

So I got my recall letter in the mail this weekend..... apparently we all have defective driver rear wheel wells. Apparently if that tire where to blow we would be picking rubber out of our skulls. So there is a cover I guess that is missing....I will let you all know how it works out...I am not sure if it is for just 97's or Mk3s as a whole....late

well its not defective at all. we are doing the recalls because somewhere down the line some dumbass drove for several miles with a flat tire in the rear, ripping a hole in the filler neck. thats the only reason why.doing it on all the vws, especially the passat.

I took my Diesel in to have it done: it was fast and neat. You can hardly tell and the dealership even cleaned the car for me... Gotta love driving a VW. It's worth the 30 minutes away from our VW's....
