2009 Vw Passat CC recalled due to a steering problem

Volkswagen announced that is recalling 130 units of the 2009 Passat, Passat wagon and CC vehicles due to a steering problem.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says some of the vehicles may have an electromechanical steering gear control unit that can break down due to a broken capacitor.

“If this malfunction occurs, the driver’s steering input is not properly processed by the system, and the vehicle may not respond as the driver intends. This defect can only occur immediately after vehicle start-up when the steering wheel is moved for the first time and at speeds less than 5 mph,” NHTSA said in its recall review of the issue.

Audis use a longitudinal engine design, while VWs use a transverse engine. While both are front wheel drive, there are very large differences between the two. If you think that the entire drivetrain is in that 2% of parts, then I guess you might be correct.
