I got a letter yesterday saying my car was part of a safety check. Some left the factory without some kind of seat guard. Anyone else get this? Sounds like a pretty minor issue. I will probably just wait for 10k service but if I knew what to look for I could check myself.

Ditto. It appears VWoA is trying to stay on top of this new production model. I hope so. They need the credibility.

I received the same. It looks like some of the Passat models may have left the factory without a tab or tabs that limit the forward and backward adjustment of the seat (stops if you will). IMO its pretty minor.
