Volkswagen is recalling 59 units of its 2023 Golf R A8 and Golf GTI vehicles because a suspension component called the strut mount may be deformed. This defect can lead to loose bolted connections between the strut mounting and the vehicle suspension. Owners will be notified by mail starting around August 18, 2023, and dealers will provide a free inspection and necessary replacement of the affected parts.
The deformed strut mount causes the suspension connections to loosen, which can result in steering instability. This instability makes the vehicle harder to control, significantly increasing the risk of a crash.
Dealers will inspect and replace the right and/or left suspension strut mountings.
