Volkswagen recalls by model and year
Look up recalls for your Volkswagen by VIN or by model. Below is how many recall campaigns NHTSA lists for popular Volkswagen models, year by year.
Recall and complaint data comes from NHTSA, the US government's vehicle safety agency, and is cached for up to a day. Recall repairs at a dealer are free. A recall that is not listed may not apply to your car or may not be filed yet. Check nhtsa.gov/recalls too.
