AJAX, ONT.—Volkswagen Canada says it is recalling about 37,000 vehicles due to a potential windshield wiper fuel leak that could lead to a fire.
The recall affects 2007 to 2009 model year Golf, Jetta, Jetta Sportwagen, Rabbit and 2006 to 2010 Beetle and Beetle convertibles.
A spokesman for the company says plastic tab on the bottom of the windshield wiper fluid tank can chafe against a fuel line, potentially causing a hole which could led to a fire.
The spokesman said there are no known incidents.
Volkswagen says a mechanic can simply snip off the part that causes the problem.
The company will mail letters to car owners in January, but drivers can call their dealership if they have questions before receiving the letter.
