SCHEDULE NOWFrequently asked questionsNHTSA campaign 16V337000 · 11 vehicles affected
Defect
Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. (Volkswagen) is recalling certain model year 2016 Golf R vehicles manufactured March 17, 2016 to March 23, 2016. The affected vehicles may be equipped with a Federal Certification Label that lists an incorrect rear axle weight limit. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of 49 CFR Part 567, Certification.
Consequence
The listed weight limit is low enough that the vehicle owner may ignore the weight limits and overload the vehicle and exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR), thereby increasing the risk of a crash.
Corrective Action
Volkswagen will notify owners, and dealers will install a corrected certification label, free of charge. The recall began July 2016. Volkswagen's number for this recall is 01B5.

5 common questions answered
NHTSA identifies two specific safety concerns for certain 2016 Volkswagen Golf R vehicles. The Label recall involves an incorrect rear axle weight limit that could contribute to overloading and exceeding the vehicle's Gross Vehicle Weight Rating, increasing crash risk. The Child Lock recall involves rear child locks that may disengage from door vibrations, allowing a child to open a rear door and potentially fall from the vehicle. Waiting can leave a known concern unresolved. A free VIN check shows whether either remedy remains open, and an authorized dealer can complete the applicable correction at no charge.
