Description of the problem | Passenger headlight socket and ring have deformity causing intermittent connection loss. Vw dealer tech advised will have to replace socket and headlight connection ring with upgraded part for repair at cost of $260. 00. I thought these deformed parts were cause for recall on 2013 passats but dealer said some 2013 vw passats were recalled but part was upgraded for some 2013 passats so some 2013 passats are not included in recall. Yet the vw dealer tech noted the deformed socket and ring need to be replaced with upgraded part so my 2013 passat has a deformed socket and ring that need to be replaced with upgraded part. My vw passat should be included in a recall. |
