Volkswagen, the German automobile company, issued a safety recall on over 260,000 of their vehicles Thursday to address potential fuel and fire hazards.
The recall covers an assortment of vehicle models from 2015 to 2020 that is intended to fix a potential fuel leaking problem that could cause a fire.
The defect was deemed to be a rare one as it was estimated to impact less than one percent of the various listed models, according to the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration posting of Volkswagen’s recall notice.
