Certain 2015 Volkswagen Jetta vehicles with low line electrical architecture and halogen headlights may not conform to FMVSS 108 (Lamps, Reflective Devices, And Associated Equipment). According to the defect report filed with the NHTSA, the software within the control module is programmed to turn off the low beam headlights when the high beams are activated. This noncompliance could cause insufficient lighting, reducing the driver’s vision and increasing the chance of an accident.

Jetta owners will be instructed to take their vehicles to their dealers to have the headlight control module software updated. For more information about the problem, owners are asked to contact Volkswagen customer service at 1-800-893-5298. Volkswagen’s number for this recall is 57F6 and the NHTSA campaign number is 14V-790.
