4 recalls across 4 model years
The Volkswagen Golf Alltrack has 4 recalls covering the 2017-2019 model years, with the most serious being a front wheel bearing defect on 2019 models where improper machining can cause excessive stress that leads to steering instability, loss of traction, or wheel component breakage while driving.
The 2019 model year also has an ignition switch that can fail, particularly in high temperatures, shutting down the electrical system and stalling the engine without warning. Separately on 2019 models, the tire pressure monitoring system can fail to detect a sudden loss of pressure across all four tires simultaneously, leaving the driver without any warning of a dangerous drop in inflation. On 2017 models, certain vehicles were sold as internal-use fleet units without full confirmation that they met all applicable regulatory requirements and may have been modified before sale, which can raise the risk of a crash or occupant injury.
