Volkswagen will recall approximately four million vehicles worldwide over possible steering problems. The service action affects four Group brands, including Škoda Auto, whose vehicles are said to account for more than one million units. ta3.com ↗
According to information from the German daily Handelsblatt, the cars were built between 2013 and 2024. The cause is a possible defect related to a bolt in the steering system. The German Federal Motor Transport Authority warned that, in the worst case, the bolt could break off, resulting in a loss of steering. Deutschlandfunk ↗
Owners of the affected vehicles will have to visit authorised service centres, where the problem is to be fixed. However, the information provided does not indicate in which specific countries and model lines the vehicles are located, or how the Group will contact owners.
The scale of the recall could cost Volkswagen billions of euros and at the same time damage its reputation. It is the Group's largest service action since the outbreak of the Dieselgate emissions scandal. The Group is facing the recall at a time when it is trying to cut costs and is dealing with other problems in the automotive industry. irozhlas.cz ↗
Neither Volkswagen nor its brands have yet published detailed information on the exact list of vehicles, repair schedules or the scope of the measures in individual countries.
