Of the total, 377,000 of the cars are being recalled in the United States with the remainder in Canada, the report said.

Golf, Rabbit and Jetta models have a plastic tab on the windscreen fluid container that could rub against a fuel line and cause a leak to develop while the Beetle has a power steering system fastening clamp that could cause the same kind of problem.

All of the vehicles were manufactured in Mexico. Repair work starts in January.
