Volkswagon Jetta: Faulty sensor prompts VW recall

A faulty temperature sensor in the dual-clutch transmission is prompting Volkswagen to recall about 13,500 cars in the United States. The recall covers 2009 and some 2010 models of the Jetta, the GTI and the Eos.

If the sensor fails, VW said owners will see warning lights on the dashboard and the transmission my shift into neutral.

VW said owners who have questions should call (800) 444-8982.
