Known issues on the 2017 Passat. For the 2017 Passat, the complaint count stands at 110: air bags 28, electrical system 18, forward collision avoidance 16, steering 16 and service brakes 15, with 9 reporting a crash. Recalls number 7. Bolts holding the brake caliper brackets may not have been tightened enough on certain 2017 Passat vehicles, so a caliper could shift and braking or control could suffer; dealers checked the bolts, replacing and re-tightening them where needed. Certain cars may have had no blocking cap on the headlight adjusters, leaving horizontal aim free to wander. Certain internal-use examples, sold without confirmation that they met federal standards, were repurchased. Brake torque values, lighting procedures and electrical wiring diagrams and diagnostics apply.
