As I was driving my V6-powered 2017 Volkswagen Passat tester one day – might’ve been a Wednesday, not sure – a strange thought came over me. I’m a big fan of car chase movies. I’m talking die-hard: a movie doesn’t have to be considered a “good one” by critics or even moviegoers for me to enjoy it, as long as there happens to be a good car chase in there. I like pretty much every single entry in the Fast and Furious franchise, for example (the second one is the main exception; its car chase isn’t that great and the rest of it, well, is pretty piss-poor). The newer Gone in Sixty Seconds – yeah, the Nic Cage one – wasn’t that well-received by critics, but it may be one of my favourite movies of all time. The shots of Cage’s feet dancing on Eleanor’s pedals and punching her shift lever as he prepares to jump over a multi-car pile-up is something I’ll watch over, and over, and over again.

Issue: Certain vehicles were built with headlights that may allow horizontal adjustment. This is not allowed under Canadian regulations. Safety Risk: Headlights that are not properly adjusted could cause reduced visibility or glare for oncoming drivers, and could increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: The company will notify owners by mail and instruct them to take their vehicle to a dealer to inspect the headlights. A blocking cap will be installed on the horizontal adjusters as necessary.

Manufacturer Recall Number:
47N3
Units Affected:

Notification Type:
Safety Mfr
On certain vehicles, defective brake line connections could cause brake fluid to leak from connection points. Over time, this would cause the brake fluid level in the master cylinder reservoir to become low, illuminating the low fluid level warning light. If the vehicle is operated in this condition, reduced brake function may result, extending stopping distances and increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace affected brake lines.
