50 000 volkswagen jettas recalled for fire risk Volkswagen is recalling 48,165 Jetta sedans from the 2025 and 2026 model years in the U.S. over a defect that could increase the risk of an engine bay fire. According to NHTSA documents, some affected vehicles may have been built with a transmission ground wire that isn't properly connected. That wire plays a key role in completing the electrical circuit for the oil pressure system. If it's not connected, it can create an open circuit and lead to excessive electrical current, which in turn raises the risk of overheating or fire. One of the more concerning aspects of the issue is that drivers may not receive any warning. Volkswagen says there are no dashboard alerts or clear indicators that would signal a problem with the ground wire, meaning the defect could go unnoticed until a failure occurs. 2027 Porsche Cayenne S Electric: All the Details 50 000 volkswagen jettas recalled for fire risk 2027 Rivian R2: All the Details
