Volkswagen recalls 200,000 cars in Brazil

Volkswagen (VW) is recalling nearly 200,000 cars in Brazil because of a rear wheel problem.

The company wants to determine whether rear wheel bearings are sufficiently greased on the Novo Gol and Novo Voyage models made before July 2009.

VW says there is a possibility that a lack of lubrication could cause wheels to lock. In extreme cases they could loosen and even fall off.

The vehicles were made in Brazil for the local market, VW's third-largest.

No blame whatsoever has been attached to Hugo - in this instance. :sarcasm:
