Volkswagen Tera Comfort is the cheapest in the comparison, but it lacks equipment Disclosure / Volkswagen Volkswagen announced this Monday (20) the recall of 150,290 units of the Polo, Tera, Nivus, T-Cross and Virtus models. The possible defect is in the parking brake. Affected drives may not lock properly. According to a statement from Volkswagen, "a possible production failure of the parking brake lever was found, which could affect its functioning." "The failure may result in involuntary movement of the vehicle when parked, which may cause accidents with risks of physical, fatal and/or material damage to the driver, passengers or third parties.", says the automaker in the statement.

The solution is to have the component inspected at a Volkswagen dealership and, if necessary, replace the parking brake lever. According to the automaker, the service is free and takes two hours to complete.
