The recall is called a “preventive measure” and is associated with the detection of corrosion of the bolt in the steering. Potentially, the defect can lead to the failure of the power steering. Cases of accidents related to this problem have not yet been recorded. It is assumed that no more than 1% of the recalled cars are damaged.
Volkswagen's recall affects the Tiguan, Touran, Golf Variant, Caddy and Golf models produced between September 2013 and July 2024. Audi has about 700,000 Q3s produced between October 2017 and May 2024.
