How to check if your Volkswagen Golf, Passat has a recall

A recall covers specific build dates and vehicle identification numbers (VINs), not every Volkswagen Golf, Passat on the road. To see whether yours is affected:

2. Ask an authorised Volkswagen dealer: recall repairs are free, including on used cars and cars serviced elsewhere.
3. Add the car to your watched vehicles on Recaller Book and get an email when a new campaign is published for it.
