VW recalls 324,000 cars sold in U.S.
Reuters / January 14, 2002
DETROIT -- Volkswagen AG, Europe's largest carmaker, is recalling
324,000 vehicles sold in the United States because of potential
problems with their emission control systems.
The problems stem from faulty oxygen sensors that can cause the
vehicles to exceed U.S. emission standards, Volkswagen of America
Inc. spokesman Tony Fouladpour said on Monday.
The recall affects 324,000 1999 through 2001 model Jetta, Golf
and New Bettle cars, most of which were built at VW's assembly
plant in Puebla, Mexico, Fouladpour said.
He said an additional 46,000 of the cars that were sold in Canada
were likely to be recalled to fix the emission control problem.
