VOLKSWAGEN MY21 Touareg (2021)
What the hazard is
A sudden uncontrollable movement of the rear axle cannot be ruled out and increases the risk of injury/death to vehicle occupants or other road users.
What to do
Consumers should contact their nearest Volkswagen Dealer to schedule an appointment to have the work carried out at no cost.
Defect
Some nuts fitted to the rear axle assembly did not meet manufacturing specifications and may break. A broken nut may lead to increased movement between the wishbone and hub carrier and a change in the wheel alignment on the rear axle.
