Volkswagen has issued a revised recall for its Chrysler-built Routan minivan, after the Detroit automaker’s initial repair failed to effectively remedy an ignition-switch defect.
Chrysler made an equivalent revision last month, promising to replace the entire ignition-switch module rather than just an elastomer detent ring. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration had opened an investigation into the first fix after owners of repaired vehicles continued to report inadvertent key movement from ‘run’ to the ‘accessory’ position.
