2011 Volkswagen Touareg Hybrid recall: equipment

⚠️ What's wrong

Volkswagen is recalling certain model year 2011 Touareg Hybrid vehicles, manufactured from july 2, 2010, through february 3, 2011. The certification labels on these vehicles contain incorrect tire pressure information and therefore fail to comply with the requirements of motor vehicle safety standard no. 110, "tire selection and rims."

💥 The risk

Incorrect tire pressure information could lead to an owner improperly inflating the vehicle tires. Driving on improperly inflated tires CAN lead to premature tire wear and possibly a crash.

🔧 The fix

Dealers will install an overlay containing the correct tire pressure information onto the existing vehicle certification label free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin on or before april 19, 2011. Owners may contact volkswagen at 1-800-822-8987.

Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
