- Summary
- Volkswagen is recalling certain model year 2011 touareg hybrid vehicles, manufactured from July 2, 2010, through February 3, 2011. The certification labels on these vehicles contain incorrect tire pressure information and therefore fail to comply with the requirements of motor vehicle safety standard no. 110, "tire selection and rims."
- Consequence
- Incorrect tire pressure information could lead to an owner improperly inflating the vehicle tires. Driving on improperly inflated tires can lead to premature tire wear and possibly a crash.
- Remedy
- Dealers will install an overlay containing the correct tire pressure information onto the existing vehicle certification label free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin on or before April 19, 2011. Owners may contact Volkswagen at 1-800-822-8987.

- Owners may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to http://www.safercar.gov.

Has your Volkswagen been repaired?
Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.
NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. Recall repairs are free.
