On October 1, 2007 Volkswagen announced the recall of 340,000 Jetta and Rabbit vehicles that were made in Mexico. A headlamp issue was to blame.

The german automaker says that some headlamps installed on these vehicles could have been installed without the required rubber caps in the sockets of both the low bean and vertical aiming screws. VW insists that there is no danger to the vehicle or the occupants because of the missing caps, but urges vehicle owners to bring their cars in to have the parts installed.
