Default Volkswagen Recalls 2009 Tiguan and 2008 Passat for "Engine Surge"

From Edmunds:

WASHINGTON -- Volkswagen is recalling approximately 4,000 of its 2008 Passats and Passat Wagons, along with the 2009 Tiguan. The automaker will fix engine control module software that can trigger an unexpected increase in engine rpm, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Sound familiar? Someone at VAG must be plenty pissed...<ul><li><a href="http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/News/articleId=126907">Read here</a></li></ul>

Default From what I read, yes - but public perception doesn't care about fact - only what's on tv.

Like everything else in life, right? =/
