In Germany: VW and Audi recall almost one million vehicles
A faulty screw can cause the steering to fail in several models from VW, Audi and Seat. Which vehicles are affected?
Volkswagen, Audi, and Seat are recalling several million vehicles due to a potential issue with the steering. In Germany, at least 950,000 cars are affected, with almost 2.16 million worldwide, according to the Kraftfahrt-Bundesamt (KBA). The recall is due to corrosion that can occur on a steering component, potentially impairing the steering function, particularly under certain environmental conditions and after long-term use under salted road conditions.
The repair, which involves replacing a screw, takes up to one hour, and Volkswagen and Audi have confirmed the recall, with Audi reporting no incidents of personal injury or further damage.
