## What is wrong

Issue:

On certain vehicles, the bolts for the left\-rear trailing arm may not have been properly tightened.  As a result, the bolts may loosen over time and fall out. If this happens, the trailing arm may break and cause a sudden loss of vehicle control.

Safety Risk:

A loss of control could create the risk of a crash.

Corrective Actions:

Volkswagen will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealership to replace the left\-rear trailing arm bolts.
