Spoiler Alert! VW recalls New Beetle Triple White for loose spoilers

Filed under: Coupes, Recalls/TSBs, Volkswagen

If you're one of the few people who have laid down cash for the 2008 Volkswagen New Beetle Triple White Special Edition, you may want to check your roof-mounted spoiler. The automaker has issued a recall for 510 MY 2008 vehicles because an incorrect adhesive may have been used to attach the roof spoiler to the car. If that's the case, the spoiler could become loose and either fall off the car or potentially fly off it while moving and become an airborne projectile on the highway. The recall begins February 29th, and VW dealers will replace the roof spoiler, which should avoid any lawsuits from people assaulted with an aerodynamic aid.
