Volkswagen’s Brazilian unit announced on Monday [May 4] a recall of five models manufactured up to five years ago for a software inspection and potential update to fix a malfunction in the instrument cluster.
- The recall includes the Polo, Virtus, Nivus, T-Cross and Tera models.
- The instrument cluster may not function properly when the vehicle is started due to a software fault, the company said in a statement.
- The component may display unexpected behavior or remain inoperative, it added, increasing accident risks with potential physical harm to occupants and third parties.
- Owners of the models recalled must visit a Volkswagen dealership for a free inspection and, if needed, software update.
- Volkswagen did not provide details on how many vehicles would be affected by the recall.
