German Cars Recalled Over Screw Issue
Volkswagen has announced a recall of around one million cars in Germany and millions more worldwide due to a steering system defect. The issue involves the corrosion of the steering system's mounting bolt, which could lead to its breakage and loss of steering control, increasing the risk of accidents. The recall includes models such as Golf, Tiguan, Touran, and Caddy from manufacturers between September 2013 and July 2024, as well as Audi and Seat models. The total number of affected vehicles globally could reach approximately 2.16 million cars. This problem comes at a sensitive time amid restructuring efforts and ongoing challenges in the global automotive industry. Although the repair is straightforward and free of charge, requiring only the replacement of a single bolt that takes about an hour at the workshops, no injuries or damages have been reported so far. This constitutes one of the largest recalls for the group since the Dieselgate scandal in 2015.
