Reported risk: Issue:
On a small number of Golf R models, the incorrect windshield wiper software may have been installed during production. As a result, the windshield wipers may not work.
Safety Risk:
Windshield wipers that don't work could affect a driver's visibility and increase the risk of a crash.
Corrective Actions:
Volkswagen will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealership to update the body control module (BCM) software.
Verify each fact at the issuing agency before acting. Recall scope, affected lots, and remediation instructions may be updated by the agency after our last sync.
