Description of the problem | The headlight (low beam) on the passenger side is not stable - when i am driving, it will go off (and then sometimes on again) when i hit a bump in the road or just from vehicle vibration. I found out that there is a recall for both 2012 and 2013 passats but my specific vin number is not listed on the recall notice. I called volkswagen customer care ( case number 181250046) and was told they can not add it to the recall list even though it is the same problem. My vw dealer has seen my car and confirmed it is an electrical connection issue and the same issue as the recall. Can you help me get my vin added to the recall list? |
