Volkswagen is recalling 8 Jetta vehicles from the 2019 model year because the instrument cluster may fail to sound a warning chime when the driver's door is opened while the key is still in the ignition. This defect means the vehicles do not comply with federal safety standards for theft protection. Authorized dealers will perform a free software update to the instrument cluster to ensure the warning chime functions correctly.
Without an audible warning chime, a driver may inadvertently leave the key in the ignition when exiting the vehicle, which significantly increases the risk of the car being stolen or involved in a crash.
