The car group VW has a problem. An important screw at the steering part can rust. Water or salt causes this in winter. When the screw breaks, the steering fails. The driver can not steer the car anymore. There is a high risk of an accident.< >
About 4 million cars have this issue worldwide. This includes brands like VW, Audi, Skoda and Seat. In Germany, almost 900.000 cars must go to the garage. Many models are affected. For example the VW Golf, the Tiguan and the Touran. The Audi Q3 is also part of it.< >
The repair takes about 30 to 60 minutes. VW changes the broken screw for free. But there is a problem. New screws are missing. Some drivers must go to the garage 2 times. First, workers put in a quick screw. Later, the right screw comes into the car.< >
