An official Health Canada notice concerns Volkswagen. On certain vehicles, the stabilizer link fasteners may have been improperly torqued during the assembly process. As a result, the fasteners may loosen over time. This could result in the stabilizer link detaching and interfering with the vehicle's steering, which would unexpectedly increase steering effort, and could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the front stabilizer links. Published 2014-07-16.
