A rearview camera that does not display an image can reduce the driver's rear visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.
5 safety recall campaigns, 11 owner complaints filed with NHTSA.
Complaints are reports from owners of this model year, not findings about any particular vehicle, and a model that sold in large numbers will collect more of them. They are counted here as filed; nothing is inferred from them.
A rearview camera that does not display an image can reduce the driver's rear visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.
A rearview camera with a delayed or deactivated image reduces the driver's view of what is behind the vehicle, increasing the risk of injury or crash.
Loose suspension connections can cause steering instability, increasing the risk of a crash.
An inoperative rearview camera display can reduce the driver's rear visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.
A damaged coolant hose can leak, causing the engine to overheat, and increasing the risk of fire. In addition, large amounts of coolant spilling onto the roadway can increase the risk of a crash to other vehicles.
Two 2023 VOLKSWAGEN GTIs can have entirely different histories, and a recall campaign usually covers a build-date window rather than a whole model year — which a VIN does not encode, so only the door-jamb label settles it.
