Just received recall notice to "Install protective shield in right rear wheelhousing." Apparently reinforced to protect fuel filler neck in case of blowout.

Recall notice affects 1998-2003 Passat, 1997-1999 Jetta, and 1998 Cabrio.

If you have one of these vehicles, keep watching your mailbox.

totally unnecessary in a diesel. If I were you I'd avoid the stealer and not give them a chance to break something else while they have it.

Totally unnecessary in a diesel, in respect to any possible explosion resulting from damage to the fuel filler neck, but why not protect the neck from damage to begin with?

Agree on protection for filler neck. Besides, its free. Will take in for recall, and watch them like a hawk from the open bay door if they won't let me in the shop.
