VW recalls cars for fuel leak
Volkswagen is recalling 168,275 cars equipped with diesel engines because of a defect in the fuel injection system that could cause fuel leaks and fires.
The recall affects certain 2009-2012 Jetta midsize cars, and some 2010 through 2012 Golf small cars, as well as some Audi A3 models from the 2010 through 2012 model years, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said Thursday on its website.
All are equipped with 2-liter TDI diesel engines.

Suit says Facebook cookies are wiretaps
WICHITA, Kan. — A Facebook user in Kansas has filed a federal lawsuit against the social networking giant, claiming it violated wiretap laws with a tracking cookie that records web browsing history after logging off of Facebook.
John Graham, a 42-year-old Leawood lawyer, is the named plaintiff in the lawsuit filed on Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Kansas. His suit seeks class action status for the 150 million users of Facebook in the United States. Graham referred all comment to his attorneys, who declined to comment on the filing.
Experts say the Kansas litigation faces an uphill battle since courts in the past have tossed out similar cases against Facebook and others filed under wiretap law, finding such computer cookies are not wiretaps. In those cases that do end up being litigated the plaintiffs typically lose because they cannot prove any harm.

I am happy to see that the company is at least responsible enough to issue a recall, instead of waiting for car owners to find out when they send their cars for servicing or when an accident happens, that would be too late and a huge disaster.

I think VW did the right thing by calling back all those faulty vehicles. They certainly live up to their name of providing the best quality and service. In case of a fire happening, any car insurance would not be able to cover the pain of a loss of life.
i must say after reading VW is the only responsive automotive company. because i don't think any of the other company have took such initiative. at least they know that they went wrong somewhere and they are ready to take to some steps for it. http://www.trucks-cars.com/cars/
