Volkswagen Malaysia recalls 12,732 cars due to gearbox issue

Volkswagen Passenger Cars Malaysia (VPCM) has issued a recall notice today for 12,732 cars produced between 2011 and 2015.

These are the affected models. Models produced after 2016 are not affected. 

• Beetle

• Cross Touran

• Golf (Mk.6 and Mk.7)

• Jetta

• Passat (B7)

• Passat CC

• Polo (6R)

• Scirocco

The recall campaign will be in phases and notification to identified owners will be done via mail. Owners are also encouraged to check Volkswagen’s website or call 1800-18-8947 for further information.
