5 common questions answered
NHTSA recall information identifies three concerns for the 2013 Volkswagen Touareg. A regulatory-compliance issue may increase the risk of a crash, fire, or injury. A missing brake-pedal pivot-pin securing clip could allow the pedal to dislodge, potentially preventing braking and increasing crash risk. On certain Touareg Hybrid vehicles, inadequate battery-tray drainage may allow water to cause a high-voltage battery short and increase fire risk. Waiting can leave a known safety concern unresolved. A free VIN check clarifies whether your vehicle is affected and whether the manufacturer remedy remains open.
