## What is wrong

Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. \(Volkswagen\) is recalling certain 2019 Volkswagen Jetta vehicles equipped with LED headlights.  The passenger side headlight may be incorrectly positioned, reducing the driver's visibility when it is dark.

## What can happen

A reduction in the driver's visibility can increase the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

Volkswagen will notify owners, and dealers will replace the passenger side headlight, free of charge.  The recall began November 2, 2018.  Owners may contact Volkswagen customer service at 1\-800\-893\-5298.  Volkswagen's number for this recall is 94L1.
