2022 VOLKSWAGEN GOLF R Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2022 Volkswagen Golf R has 4 recalls, the most serious involving two separate fire risks: a loose engine cover that can contact hot surfaces and melt, and a radiator that may not be properly secured, leading to a coolant hose leak that can cause the engine to overheat and potentially ignite. Both fire-related issues share an overheating pathway, and prior repair attempts may not have fully resolved the underlying radiator attachment problem across all affected vehicles. On the visibility side, a software defect can cause the rearview camera image to appear late or not at all when shifting into reverse, reducing the driver's view of what is behind the vehicle.
