    Volkswagen recalls vehicles in China over transmission component risk

    Recall announced

    Volkswagen recalled specified imported and domestically produced vehicles in China because a transmission mechatronic unit housing may crack, reduce oil pressure and cause loss of drive. The recall covers 76,432 vehicles across the listed Volkswagen, Audi and Škoda models. Affected parts will be inspected using a new method, and qualifying parts will be replaced free of charge.

    Stated objective. 消除安全隐患

    • 据悉，本次召回范围内的部分车辆使用了特定供应商在一定时间内生产的变速箱机电单元上壳体，其固定蓄压器的螺纹在使用中可能开裂并引起油压下降，部分情况下造成离合器不再耦合，导致车辆失去驱动力，存在安全隐患。
    • 本次召回范围包括部分2009–2015年款进口甲壳虫、尚酷及高尔夫系列汽车，共计51806辆；部分2010-2014年款进口奥迪A1、A3汽车，共计21042辆；部分2013年款国产速腾、高尔夫、迈腾、大众CC及宝来系列汽车，共计1434辆；部分2012-2013年款国产途安、明锐、朗逸、昊锐和帕萨特系列汽车，共计2150辆。
    • 为了确保准确识别全部缺陷车辆、消除安全隐患，需要对上次召回活动中所有尚未更换上壳体的车辆（其中也包括之前已经执行过召回检查，但是未更换上壳体的车辆），重新采用全新方法检查变速箱机电单元上壳体，并扩大了车辆召回范围。如果确认为所涉及供应商提供的零件，则免费更换改进后的上壳体维修套件，消除安全隐患。
