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 put excessive stress on the wheel and bolts, potentially causing a wheel to break free or the driver to lose steering and stability control.
The 2019 model year also has an ignition switch that can fail, particularly in high heat, causing the electrical system to shut down and the engine to stall without warning while the vehicle is moving. Separately on 2019 models, the tire pressure monitoring system can fail to detect a sudden loss of pressure across all four tires, leaving the driver without any warning of a dangerous drop in tire inflation. Going back to 2017, certain vehicles were sold as internal-use fleet examples without verification that they met all applicable regulatory requirements and may have been modified before sale, which introduces an unspecified but broader risk of crash or injury.
