The company’s letter to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) stated the door handles could allow water to enter the circuit board assembly, which may lead to the doors opening unexpectedly.

According to Volkswagen, the production halt could last until the beginning of next year as it works to resolve the issue.

Yeah, a long shutdown for a fix sounds like they’re needing to redesign something and test/certify the fix. That keeps me more in the mind that this is a unique North America part (unless Europe also announces a recall soon) and that would probably be significantly different for a regulatory reason.
