Description of the problem | Tl* the contact owns a 2014 volkswagen passat. The contact stated that the vehicle was taken to prestige volkswagen of turnersville located at 4271 e black horse pike, turnersville, nj 08012 (856) 629-9200, for an unknown manufacturer recall (nhtsa number unknown). While the vehicle was at the dealer, the contact was informed of two additional unknown open recalls on the vehicle.

The same dealer was contacted by phone and the contact was informed to have the vehicle taken back to the dealer to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the oil level in the vehicle was low.
