Volkswagen Recall Information
NHTSA maintains a comprehensive database of Volkswagen vehicle recalls dating back decades. Safety recalls are issued when Volkswagen or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with federal safety standards. All Volkswagen recall repairs are performed free of charge at any authorized Volkswagen dealership.
Common reasons for Volkswagen recalls include issues with airbag inflators, fuel systems, steering components, braking systems, and electronic systems. When a recall is announced, Volkswagen owners are notified by mail, but many vehicle owners miss these notifications — especially when buying a used car.
To check if your Volkswagen has an open recall, use the VIN lookup tool on our homepage. Your 17-digit VIN can be found on the driver's side dashboard (visible through the windshield) or on the driver's side door jamb sticker.
