Buying a used 2025 Volkswagen Jetta? Check these 2 recalls first

2 NHTSA recalls · 32 owner complaints on file

The 2025 Jetta has 2 recalls: a ground wire issue carrying a fire risk and an instrument panel display failure. These make recall repair documentation and display operation specific inspection priorities. Its 32 NHTSA owner complaints are unverified reports, including 4 crashes, 0 fires, and 2 injuries. Power train accounts for 8 reports, forward collision avoidance 7, unknown or other 6, and fuel/propulsion system 4. These complaint categories do not establish the cause of any reported incident.

Before you buy

1. Get the 17-character VIN from the seller and run it at nhtsa.gov/recalls. It shows which recalls are still unrepaired on that exact car.
2. Request documentation of the ground wire recall repair.
3. Verify display recall completion and check instrument panel operation.
4. Ask about transmission behavior and forward collision warning faults.
5. Open recalls are repaired free at any Volkswagen dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
