Volkswagen GTI Recalls

Front 3/4 view of a Volkswagen GTI

The GTI has been recalled 8 times over 16 model years.

These are free repairs, initiated by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration or Volkswagen itself, for a widespread safety problem. They might be a pain, but a recalled problem is better than an ignored one.

A single recall campaign often covers multiple models and years. The 2000 model year has been involved in the most campaigns with 3 total recalls.
