Defect
Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. (Volkswagen) is recalling certain model year 2016 Golf R vehicles manufactured March 17, 2016 to March 23, 2016. The affected vehicles may be equipped with a Federal Certification Label that lists an incorrect rear axle weight limit. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of 49 CFR Part 567, Certification.
Consequence
The listed weight limit is low enough that the vehicle owner may ignore the weight limits and overload the vehicle and exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR), thereby increasing the risk of a crash.
Corrective Action
Volkswagen will notify owners, and dealers will install a corrected certification label, free of charge. The recall began July 2016. Volkswagen's number for this recall is 01B5.

5 common questions answered
NHTSA recall information identifies two potential safety concerns for certain 2016 Volkswagen Golf R vehicles. An incorrect Federal Certification Label may show an inaccurate rear axle weight limit, which could contribute to overloading, exceeding the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating, and increasing crash risk. A rear Child Lock may disengage because of vibration, allowing a child to open a rear door unexpectedly and increasing the possibility of injury. Waiting can leave these concerns unresolved. A free VIN check tells you whether either recall applies, and an authorized dealer can complete the specified remedy without charging the owner.
