What are the defects?
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.
What are the hazards?
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.

Consumers should contact their nearest Volkswagen Dealer to schedule an appointment to have the work carried out at no cost.
