2011 Jetta Recalls

Volkswagen AG's U.S. unit recalled more than 71,000 Jetta sedans due to a defect in the wiring system controlling the car horn that can cause the car to stall, a company spokeswoman said on Monday.
The wiring layout that controls the horn also controls the converter box, which governs the engine management system, lighting system and wipers.
In "very rare" circumstances, an electrical short in the horn could cause a short in the converter box and could make the vehicle stall, VW spokeswoman Sheriece Matias said.
VW said in a statement that 71,043 Jettas for the model year 2011 are affected by the recall. VW said there have been no reported injuries and accidents related to this defect.
The Jettas were built between March 2010 and March 2011.

How do I move the wipers out of the way to clean the base of the windshield on my new VW?

The windshield wipers will move to the service position if you switch the ignition on briefly, switch it off again, then press the windshield wiper lever down on the steering column. Once in the service position, the base of the windshield is easily accessible for cleaning and the wipers can be moved away from the glass so that they do not freeze to the windshield. You can find more information on this feature in sections 3.1 and 3.2 of your Owner’s Manual.
