Volkswagen recalls 2.8M cars globally
Volkswagen has announced a recall of more than 2.8 million vehicles from the Volkswagen and Audi brands worldwide due to a potential steering system defect. The issue involves corrosion of certain bolts in the system, which could lead to their breakage and impair steering functionality. The recall includes about 2.16 million Volkswagen vehicles, such as the Golf, Golf Variant, Tiguan, and Touran models manufactured between 2013 and 2024, as well as roughly 700,000 Audi cars, including the Q3 model produced from 2017 to 2024. The company confirmed that the defect was identified during quality inspections and currently does not pose an immediate danger while driving. Owners are advised to continue using their vehicles until they visit a dealership for the necessary repairs. This recall comes amid market challenges faced by Volkswagen, including increased competition from Chinese electric cars and its plans to reduce workforce.
