Description of the problem | Contacted the dealer at failure and stated that they had no tools to repair the tie rods. Also contacted the volkwageen of america. This item has a recall on my car. But, my chasis is not one of the 51,000 vehicles on the list, but my car is a 1998 vw passat. I need to find out how to have my car placed on the recall list so that the dealer can re-place my faulty tie rod on my car. *ak |
