Volkswagen Mk7.5 Golf: rear wheel bearing housing manufactured with insufficient hardening
In November 2017, a recall was issued for a single Volkswagen Mk7.5 Golf vehicle because the rear wheel bearing housing may have been manufactured with an insufficient case hardening. If the wheel bearing housing fractured, the road holding of the vehicle could be significantly impaired and this would pose a hazard to vehicle occupants and other road users. For the VIN of the recalled Volkswagen Mk7.5 Golf, please see PRA 2017/16441.
2018-19 Volkswagen Mk7.5 Golf: rear head restraint
In March 2019, recall campaign 72H8 was issued for Volkswagen Mk7.5 Golf vehicles that were available for sale in Australia from 21 July 2018 to 1 March 2019. In these vehicles, the welded connection of the rear seat bench may not have been correctly connected. In the event of a collision, the head restraint of the rear seat backrest that was installed in the vehicle may not be fully effective and this increased the risk of injury to an occupant. For the VINs of the recalled vehicles, please see PRA 2019/17362.
