FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) — Volkswagen Group said Friday it is
recalling 2.86 million Volkswagen and Audi branded vehicles as a
precautionary measure over a screw whose failure could cause a
loss of steering.
The affected vehicles are Volkswagen Tiguan, Touran, Golf, Golf
Variant and Caddy models built between September 2013 and July
2024, and Audi Q3 models made between October 2017 and May 2024.
There have been no known incidents with damage to persons or
property, according to Germany's KBA motor vehicle agency. The
defective screw is to be replaced with a more
corrosion-resistant one.
Volkswagen said that certain environmental conditions and
yearslong operation under the influence of road salt could
affect the screw. The repair would take up to an hour.
