Volkswagen recall

Posted on 02 July, 2017

Volkswagen is recalling 385,000 cars in Germany. The information which comes in from news agency, DPA, states that the manufacturer will update the software on the cars' anti-lock brake systems. The vehicles affected by the recall include the VW, Audi and Skoda brands. According to the news agency, the braking control system may not function properly in certain driving conditions - including when the driver over-steers, under-steers or slams on the brakes. In January, the automotive giant recalled over 600,000 Audis in the US over defects that could lead to fires or airbag malfunctions. In the same month, Volkswagen recalled almost 50,000 vehicles in China due to brake problems when using cruise control.
