Volkswagen: 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.
Flensburg reports that nearly one million Volkswagen and Audi vehicles in Germany may suffer from a steering failure issue. The problem stems from a screw breakage, which can lead to a steering malfunction, according to data from the German Federal Motor Authority (KBA). To resolve the issue, the steering connector needs to be replaced with a more corrosion-resistant screw, the KBA states.
According to the KBA, the affected vehicles include the VW Tiguan, Touran, Golf Variant, Caddy, and Golf models produced between September 24, 2013, and July 1, 2024. Globally, nearly 2.16 million vehicles are potentially impacted, with around 900,000 of those located in Germany. The same problem also affects the Audi Q3, with a production period between October 31, 2017, and May 23, 2024. Globally, almost 700,000 Audi Q3 vehicles are potentially affected, with 58,555 in Germany.
