vw passat 1998 r-reg recall notices - simon
I remember hearing, somewhere, about vw recalling some of their 1998 passats due to a problem with the steering rack, but I can't remember the details. Please can anyone help, or point me in the right direction?.

Many thanks.

Simon.

Simon,

Before HJ drops on you for not looking round his site carefully......

The info is in the Car-by-Car Breakdown under recalls, have a look but here is what you're after pasted from that page.

...."March '98-August '98-built Passats recalled because steering track rod ends could work loose."......

...."Worldwide recall of 560,000 1999 model year A4s, A6s, A8s and VW Passats to replace steering ball joints (track rod ends). Announced Auto Bild 11/3/2001.".....

If I'm about to look at an unfamiliar car I make for that section to look at the previous recall requirements.

The site's obviously doing its job, then. Thanks, Dave.
