Volkswagen will be asking owners of some 2015 Golf and 2015 GTI cars to return their vehicle to their nearest dealer to repair a problem that could affect steering.

Due to insufficient torque of the stabilizer link fasteners, the fasteners could loosen over time. In rare cased, the stabilizer link could detach completely and interfere with the vehicle’s steering. Drivers may hear considerable noise coming from the front of the vehicle and increased steering effort will be required. The unexpected increased handling effort could increase the chance of an accident.

Dealers will replace the front stabilizer links on all affected vehicles. Owners wanting more information about the problem can contact Volkswagen customer service at 1-800-822-8987. Volkswagen’s number for this recall is 40K9/1W and the NHTSA campaign number is 14V-412.
