JAKARTA - Volkswagen is facing a recall program in the United States involving its two models with different problems. The recall involved an ID.4 2022 model that had problems with the spare camera, while Golf R and GTI had problems with the buffer.

Although the number of units affected was not large, there were four units of VW ID.4 affected, while Golf R and GTI reached 59 units.

The problem with VW ID.4 is caused by a software problem that doesn't happen at the factory. The vehicles receive a replacement infotainment system that doesn't fit the US market. This can cause the rear camera image to be delayed or completely disabled when the vehicle moves backwards. VW will fix the problem with an impacted rear camera software update.

Meanwhile, the problem with Golf R and GTI 2023 takes longer repair time. This problem is related to the unpattered buffer mount on 59 vehicles. While this issue does not harm drivers directly, US regulations require buffer installation points not to be at risk of being released, so Volkswagen must make a recall in the market.

Volkswagen will contact vehicle owners on August 18 and ask them to take the vehicle to the nearest dealers to deal with the matter.
