Subject: Upcoming Safety Recall and Rear Axle Safety Inspection
2011-2013 Model Year VW Jetta
2013-2013 Model Year VW Beetle
Summary: Defect can only be present after vehicle has sustained damage. If vehicle has sustained damage to rear axle components (from a rear or side rear impact crash or after striking a high road obstacle while driving in revers at high speed) the rear axle trailing arms could be damaged and durability reduced. Can lead to sudden fracture of trailing arm. In early 2015 VW will be recalling to install a sheet metal inlay on the rear axle trailing arms.
In the meantime they are offering a free rear axle safety inspection with authorized VW dealers.

I got a notice in the mail, hopefully everyone else did also!
