What Does Volkswagen Recall Mean?
1 Answers
So-called Volkswagen recall refers to the situation where cars released to the market are found to have defects due to design or manufacturing reasons, which do not comply with relevant regulations and standards and may lead to safety and environmental issues. The manufacturer must promptly report the product issues, causes, and improvement measures to relevant national authorities, submit a recall application, and after approval, modify the vehicles in use to eliminate potential hazards. The methods to determine whether a car is subject to recall are as follows: 1. Vehicle nameplate: For recalls, manufacturers usually announce a certain scope, often limited to a specific vehicle manufacturing date range. At this time, the nameplate on the car is the simplest way to determine and exclude whether your car is within the recall scope. The manufacturing date of the vehicle is marked on the nameplate, with some models clearly indicating the year/month/day, allowing direct judgment of whether it falls under the recall. However, in reality, most models only indicate the year/month. 2. Query through the manufacturer's official website: Generally, if a manufacturer has a recall plan, relevant information should be available on the official website, but different manufacturers may vary in their notification and publicity efforts for recalls of different scales.
