Are the journos passing this around. WTF nothing better to do.

VW recall mk 8 Golf.

With so many of the newest VW Group vehicles including new Skoda having Software Issues it is really worth a thread of it's own.

 

It comes about because of the VW Group having to get vehicles sold and first registered to help towards them having the average Co2 g/km so as they are not going to be fined, 

so cars not properly functioning with the features buyers have paid for.

Too much technology in cars. Think of the environmental damage casued by 56,000 cars needlessly travelling to dealers to be fixed! What is with VW and the environment?

Hopefully the motoring journalist / Editors & Publishers of Online pages will be asking VW UK & Skoda, Audi & SEAT's Brand Directors, CEO or whoever if the Recall Action will be put into action in the UK sooner rather than later.

That would be contacting all Registered Keepers of the vehicles that could be affected and it is not just being a 'Voluntary Recall' and a Service Campaign where unless the car is into a Dealership or the driver / owner complains they are not made aware of what a Manufacturer calls a 'RECALL'.

  SSSSC's. = Skoda Secret Service Service Campaigns. 

 Tell only those that need to know and the last person to need to know is a driver / owner and the 2nd last is the Call Handler / Receptionists at Skoda UK Customer Services or a Dealership Service Desk.   Loose Lips means people might want their car booked in and fixed.
