2018 VOLKSWAGEN GOLF Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2018 Volkswagen Golf has 2 recalls, the more serious being a faulty ignition switch contact that can allow the key to be removed while the car is still in gear, creating a rollaway risk. Buildup on the shift lever micro switch contacts can fool the ignition into thinking the transmission is in Park when it is not, letting the driver pull the key and walk away from a vehicle that is free to roll. The second recall affects a very small number of Golf GTI vehicles where the VIN printed on the certification label may not match the VIN stamped on the car itself, which can make it difficult to determine whether a specific vehicle is subject to a safety recall.
