Recall summary
All vehicles with an automatic transmission must clearly indicate a selected gear on the instrument cluster. In the affected cars, this may not happen when the driver shifts into Neutral due to a software error.
This means that if the electronic parking brake is not engaged, the car may roll away, especially if it is on a slope or a hill.
Recall risks
The rollaway ups the risk of an accident or property damage.
Warning signs
The driver might notice an absence of the red parking brake warning on the dashboard.
Other Volkswagen recalls
In September 2024, Volkswagen recalled ID.4 cars whose doors could open on their own.
In July 2024, Golf hatchbacks and Atlas SUVs were recalled over limited visibility caused by malfunctioning rearview cameras.
The repair
Dealers will update the electronic parking brake software free of charge.
The owners should receive letters with more information on April 4, 2025.
