- Notes
- Possibility that vehicles were trans- ported from one automobile works toanother by hooking lines to the tie rods rather than clamping lines to frontaxle beam.if this condi- tion occurred would cause tie rods to bend andresult in front wheel toe-out.(correct by inspecting and have rods replacedif neces- sary.)

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.
