Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Volkswagen has recalled around 105,000 cars after discovering a cooling system fault which could wreck their engines or injure drivers and passengers. The move is part of a worldwide recall of 950,000 VW Golfs, Jettas, Passats and Corrados built in the 1980s. It follows a similar recall in February last year, involving 1.9 million Mark 2 Golfs and Jettas with the same problem.
The cars were fitted with a heater matrix made from a plastic which has been shown to degrade when exposed to excessive temperatures and which can damage the engine or send hot water and steam into the passenger compartment.
