According to VW's official explanation, the problem with the seven-speed DSG gearboxes was due to sulfur in the gearbox's transmission fluid and iodine-based inorganic head stabilizers in its plastic components damaging its metal parts, leading to corrosion of internal electronics. This corrosion, which may be further worsened by humid climate conditions, ultimately caused some gearboxes' electronic control units to malfunction and short circuit. The manufacturer will replace the electronic components in the gearboxes of recalled vehicles, as well upgrade the gearbox's software, thereby resolving the issue.
