Volkswagen is recalling approximately 8,038 model year 2022-2023 Golf R A8 and Golf GTI vehicles because the radiator may have been incorrectly attached to the intercooler. This defect can lead to a damaged coolant hose and fluid leaks, which can cause the engine to overheat or spray large amounts of coolant onto the road. Dealers will inspect the radiator and replace any damaged components free of charge.
A damaged coolant hose can leak fluid onto the engine, causing it to overheat and increasing the risk of a fire. Additionally, coolant spilling onto the roadway creates a slippery surface that increases the risk of a crash for other vehicles.
