Volkswagen and Audi Recall Millions of Cars Worldwide as a Precaution
Volkswagen is recalling 2.8 million Volkswagen and Audi vehicles globally due to a potentially defective steering bolt that could cause power steering failure. The issue affects models produced between September 2013 and July 2024, with repairs involving the replacement of corrosion-sensitive bolts. While the German Federal Motor Transport Authority (KBA) confirmed the recall, estimates suggest the total number of affected vehicles across all brands, including Škoda and Seat, may reach up to 4.58 million. No accidents linked to the defect have been reported, and owners will receive letters offering free repairs.
