What is wrong
On certain special edition triple white sedan vehicles, an incorrect adhesive may have been used to attach the roof spoiler to the rear glass of the vehicle. If the incorrect adhesive was used, the spoiler could become loose or fall from the vehicle without warning, even though initially the spoiler may feel secure.
The risk
If this happens, the spoiler could cause injury by striking persons outside the vehicle or could become an obstacle to other drivers, possibly resulting in a crash.
The fix
Dealers will replace the roof spoiler on these vehicles. The recall began on february 29, 2008. Owners may contact vwoa at 1-[removed].
