Volkswagen issued a recall today for nearly 50,000 Jettas built for the 2025 and 2026 model years because the factory forgot to connect a ground wire for the transmission on some models, leading to an open circuit. This circuit could generate excessive draw and eventually start an electrical fire.

This possibly only applies to US-built Jettas.
