Volkswagen recalls nearly 2.9 million cars worldwide over steering risk
The affected models include VW's Tiguan, Touran, Golf and Caddy vehicles built between 2013 and 2024, and around 700,000 Audi models built from 2017 to 2024.
German car manufacturer Volkswagen is recalling nearly 2.9 million vehicles worldwide due to a potential steering risk, the German transport authority KBA announced on Friday. The issue stems from corrosion discovered during quality control checks, which could result in a bolt fracturing and ultimately causing steering failure. Despite this, no reported incidents of steering failure have occurred.
Volkswagen's affected models include the Tiguan, Touran, Golf, and Caddy, built between 2013 and 2024, while around 700,000 Audi models from 2017 to 2024 are also included in the recall. A Volkswagen representative confirmed the recall as a precautionary measure and reassured drivers that there have been no human injuries. The company advises drivers to continue using their vehicles until they can schedule an appointment with a dealer for the necessary bolt replacements.
