  • Caddy recall

    Just read this on the Caddy2K forum.

    FRANKFURT (Reuters) - German carmaker Volkswagen said on Wednesday it is recalling 589,000 Caddy small delivery vans globally to fix a condition that may cause an open tailgate to snap shut.

    The gas-pressure shock absorbers attached to the tail gate may get dislodged in some vehicles built between November 2003 and January 2013, VW said in a statement.

    Of the affected Caddy vans, 284,000 are in Germany.

    The news comes just three months after Volkswagen had to recall over 2.6 million cars, about a third of them in China, to fix a variety of problems, a blow to a group striving to overtake Toyota and General Motors as the world's biggest carmaker.

    May be worth getting yours checked.

      I don't have a tailgate so won't be relevant to me but as I don't use VW for servicing its prompted me to look up any other recalls and sort them if need be.

        You can always call them every now and then with your VIN.
