That was fun one. My parents had one go back...not only did the frame rot, but it happened at a point that supported the front strut assembly. When they failed, they failed in a way that caused total loss of control. My parents in Ottawa brought theirs in for an oil change (had no idea) and the dealer wouldn't let them even take it home....put them in a rental and Toyota had them in a new car in a week.
VW on the other hand...not so much. I know this is not a safety issue but the absolute lack of any communication outside of news rumors and interviews is creating a negative case study for future business school students.
