The 2023 Volkswagen Golf R has 3 recalls, the most serious involving a deformed front strut mount that can loosen the suspension connections and cause steering instability, and a radiator that may not be properly secured to the intercooler, allowing coolant to leak and the engine to overheat with a risk of fire.
The third recall is a software issue affecting the rearview camera, which can display a delayed image or go blank entirely when the car is shifted into reverse, reducing the driver's view of what is behind the vehicle.
