More than 8000 Volkswagen vehicles are being recalled across the country due to a “safety risk,” Transport Canada said in a recent notice.
According to Transport Canada, on certain vehicles, “a software problem could cause the instrument cluster not to display when the vehicle is started.”
“As a result, you may not be able to see certain information about the vehicle, including the speedometer, gear selection indicators, warning lights and malfunction tell-tales,” the notice said.
