Vehicles Affected: Approximately 325 model-year 2016 Volkswagen Beetle cars manufactured between June 18 and Nov. 9, 2015, and equipped with 18-inch wheels
The Problem: Affected vehicles may have incorrect sidewall height ratio information on the tire placard. If the tires are replaced using a smaller-diameter tire, it can cause incorrect readings on the speedometer, increasing the risk of a crash.
The Fix: Dealers will install a corrected tire placard for free.
What Owners Should Do: The recall is expected to begin this month. Owners can call the automaker at 800-893-5298, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's vehicle-safety hotline at 888-327-4236 or go to www.safercar.gov for more info.
