Einer Million VW-Autos in Deutschland droht Lenkungsausfall
Ein Schraubenabriss kann bei mehreren VW- und Audi-Modellen zum Ausfall der Lenkung führen. Welche Fahrzeuge betroffen sind und was das KBA empfiehlt.
Nearly one million vehicles from Volkswagen and its subsidiary Audi in Germany may experience a steering failure due to a screw failure, according to data from the German Federal Motor Transport Authority (KBA). This issue arises from a screw failure in the steering column, which can lead to a steering failure, the KBA reports. To resolve the problem, the steering column should be replaced with a corrosion-resistant screw, the KBA adds.
