A small number of zero-series vehicles (very early production vehicles) were sold as used after they were no longer needed for Volkswagen internal use. Volkswagen has discovered that documentation about possible modification(s) made during the internal use period may be incomplete.
Because of this, Volkswagen cannot verify that the vehicles comply with all applicable regulatory requirements. Out of an abundance of caution, Volkswagen has decided to recall these vehicles.
If the vehicles do not meet all regulatory requirements, there could be an increased risk of a crash, fire, or injury.
Vehicles affected by this recall cannot be repaired. Because of this, Volkswagen is only offering a repurchase (buy back) program for this recall. Volkswagen will work with affected owners to complete the vehicle repurchase process as quickly as possible, FREE of charge.
Time is of the essence.
• From now until March 31, 2019, vehicle values will be calculated and paid based upon the NADA Clean-Trade Value in the USA / Canadian Black Book Value in Canada.
• After March 31, 2019, vehicle values will be calculated and paid based upon the vehicle’s current market value minus any daily depreciation due to vehicle mileage, age and condition.
Hmmm, sounds fishy. Sounds like VW trying to cover their butts. You don’t have to sell it, do you? Of course possible fire is a good incentive, I supppose.
