Details

What's wrong: Volkswagen group of america, Inc. (Volkswagen) is recalling two 2018 golf gti vehicles. The VIN printed on the federal certification label may not match the actual VIN on the vehicle. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of 49 cfr part 567, "certification."

Why it matters: If the stamped vehicle identification number (VIN) does not match the VIN on the vehicle certification label, owners may be unable to tell if their vehicle is under an important safety recall, possibly exposing them to an increased risk of a crash, fire or injury.

The fix: Volkswagen will notify owners, and dealers will install a correct certification label, free of charge. This recall began July 9, 2020.
