More than 13,000 vehicles recalled in Canada due to potential fire risk
More than 13,000 vehicles are being recalled across Canada due to a potential issue that could increase the risk of a fire.
According to Transport Canada, the problem involves a transmission ground wire that may not have been connected during production on certain vehicles. If the wire was not properly attached, wiring or nearby components could overheat while the vehicle is in use.
Overheating wiring or parts can increase the risk of a fire, creating a potential safety hazard.
Which vehicles are affected
The recall affects 13,318 vehicles in Canada, including certain:
2025 Volkswagen Jetta
2026 Volkswagen Jetta
Not every vehicle from those model years is included in the recall.
What owners should do
Volkswagen says it will notify affected owners by mail.
Drivers will be asked to take their vehicle to a dealership where technicians will inspect the transmission ground wire and repair it if necessary.
The inspection and any required repairs will be completed free of charge.
