Suspension & Steering
Unsecured bolts may cause the trailing arm to fracture, resulting in a sudden loss of vehicle control and increasing the risk of a crash.
The bolts of the rear suspension trailer arm on the driver's side may not have been tightened properly. This can cause loss of vehicle control and can result in an accident.
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 December, 2022. 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 42M2.
