Volkswagen Q3 recalls by country

How to check if your Volkswagen Q3 has a recall

A recall covers specific build dates and vehicle identification numbers (VINs), not every Volkswagen Q3 on the road. To see whether yours is affected:

1. Look up your VIN or registration on the official recall checker for the country where the car is registered: MOLIT (South Korea), PROFECO (Mexico), NHTSA (United States), Transport Canada (Canada).
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.
