If the stamped vehicle identification number (VIN) does not match the VIN on the Vehicle Certification Label, owners may be unable to tell if their vehicle is under an important safety recall, possibly exposing them to an increased risk of a crash, fire or injury.
The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) label printed and affixed to the vehicle may not match the accurate VIN number of the vehicle. If the owner does not know the proper serial number, and a recall is announced, it is possible a known safety concern may be let go uncorrected, leading to risk of an accident or injury.
You must contact and visit a Volkswagen dealership to perform recall repairs on your Volkswagen vehicle. The schedule for Volkswagen to initially contact known owners of affected vehicles was during July, 2020. If you did not receive a notification, but wish to check to see if your vehicle is included, please contact one of your local Volkswagen dealerships. They will also check for any other incomplete recalls on your vehicle. For best results, be prepared to provide your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) to the service department consultant you speak with. The Volkswagen recall designation is 01E7.
