Is my Volkswagen affected?
A recall rarely covers every car of a model. It usually applies to a run of build dates or specific VINs, so a listing here means your model might be included. To be sure, put your registration into the DVSA vehicle recall checker or ask any franchised Volkswagen dealer to check your VIN. If your vehicle is included, the repair is free, whatever its age and however many owners it has had.
