Manufacturer
118 recalls in our database name Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. as the manufacturing or recalling firm.
The manufacturer string comes from the agency’s own source notice — for FDA recalls, the “recalling firm” field; for NHTSA recalls, the vehicle manufacturer; for CPSC recalls, the firm-of-record on the joint press release. A single corporate family can appear under multiple manufacturer strings as agency notices aren’t standardized on a canonical name. If you don’t see recalls you expect, try a parent-company search or a broader full-text search.
Severity scores below are computed from the agency’s classification and the recall text, never from manufacturer behaviour or history. Many manufacturers issue routine corrective actions (software updates, labelling corrections) that are correctly scored low — having recalls on this list isn’t inherently a quality signal.
Volkswagen is recalling certain 2021 Audi E-Tron models due to improperly welded brake boosters that may separate, reducing braking assistance and stability control.
Volkswagen is recalling 2020-2021 Jetta vehicles because the air bag control module was welded in an incorrect position. This can cause air bags to deploy improperly during a crash or deploy unexpectedly, increasing injury risk.
Volkswagen is recalling certain 2021 ID.4 vehicles because headlight aiming caps were installed on the vertical adjustment instead of the horizontal adjustment. This defect can increase glare and reduce visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.
Audi is recalling five 2021 model vehicles for engine cylinder bore cracks that may cause engine damage, stalling, oil leaks, and increased fire risk.
Audi is recalling certain 2019-2021 vehicles for rear axle lock nuts that may break from stress corrosion. A broken lock nut can cause axle misalignment, loss of control, and increased crash risk.
Volkswagen Group (Audi) is recalling certain 2019-2021 Audi models for defective passenger air bags that may not deploy properly during a crash. Owners should contact Audi at 1-800-253-2834 for free inspection and repair.

Audi is recalling certain 2019-2021 A8 and 2020-2021 S8 vehicles due to a missing sealing pin on the engine control module connector. Moisture can enter the connector and cause the engine to stall, increasing crash risk.

Front steering knuckles in certain Volkswagen Atlas and Atlas Cross Sport vehicles may fracture, causing loss of vehicle control and increasing crash risk. Volkswagen will inspect and replace affected knuckles free of charge.
Volkswagen Group of America (Audi) is recalling 2021 Audi A6, Q7, RS6, and RS7 vehicles. An electrical connector can detach from door crash sensors, potentially delaying restraint system activation during side-impact crashes.

Volkswagen is recalling certain 2021 Atlas and 2020-2021 Atlas Cross Sport vehicles with damaged steering knuckles that may fail during operation. A failed steering knuckle can cause loss of steering control, increasing crash risk.
Volkswagen is recalling certain 2021 Atlas and 2020-2021 Atlas Cross Sport vehicles with potentially over-cured Continental Cross Contact LX Sport tires. Over-cured tires can cause sidewall breaks or tread separation, increasing crash risk.

Certain 2020 Audi SQ5 and Q5 vehicles and 2020-2021 Volkswagen models have improperly welded front seat frames. In a rear-end crash, the defective welds could fail and reduce occupant restraint, increasing the risk of injury.
