Volkswagen Recalls 2011 Touareg Hybrids for Incorrect Tire Pressure Labels
Volkswagen is recalling 2011 Touareg Hybrid vehicles because certification labels contain incorrect tire pressure information, which could lead to improper inflation and premature tire wear.
What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 2/5 (Moderate).
Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a labeling error that could lead to improper tire inflation and potential crash risk, but no injuries or deaths are reported, fitting the criteria for moderate severity.
