Volkswagen is recalling 589,000 Caddy small delivery vans worldwide to fix a problem that may cause an open tailgate to snap shut.
The gas-pressure shock absorbers attached to the tail gate may get dislodged in some vehicles built between November 2003 and January 2013, VW said in a statement cited by Reuters.

Of the affected vans, 284,000 are in Germany.
The news came three months after Volkswagen had to recall over 2.6m cars, about a third of them in China, to fix a variety of problems.
