Volkswagen Group of America is recalling 48,165 of its 2025-2026 Jetta vehicles because a transmission ground wire may not have been properly connected during assembly. This loose connection can create an open electrical circuit that draws higher current than intended. Dealers will inspect and repair the ground wire free of charge to ensure the electrical circuit is secure.
The open electrical circuit caused by the loose wire can lead to overheating and significantly increase the risk of a vehicle fire.
