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.

Please cite the 1km that was tested, because all speculation I've seen on the internet is that it's at least 2-3 miles (3.2km -> 4.8km)

And if you think 2-3 miles is insignificant, you're wrong.

You tell your boss at a car company that you know a way to get 2-3 more miles out of the car and you'll get a promotion.
