Recall 18V329000 (GTI 2011-2013)

Ready to race!
Has anyone found out more information about this upcoming recall? I see it includes GTI's 2011-2013. I plugged my VIN in, but it said there weren't any recall's available. Maybe that's just because the recall hasn't actually began?

they probably wont release the vins until the 13th as that's the start of the recall.

Interesting, I'd sure like to know what is up with this. Safety or emissions? Waiting & watching......

Im not eligible....just really curious what the heck this is for. Can't find any info online and the description is really vague but it sounds like a potentially serious issue.

"If the vehicles do not meet all regulatory requirements, there could be an increased risk of a crash, fire, or injury."

This statement makes me think its more than just emissions and rather serious, but it is quite vague.

Damn im really curious what it is, that's such a low number. I wonder if they messed up doing the Takata airbag recall on a handful of vehicles
