Germany's Federal Motor Transport Authority (KBA) said Volkswagen confirmed a global recall of about 2.86 mln vehicles, including roughly 960,000 in Germany, due to a steering-system defect. Affected Volkswagen models include Tiguan, Touran and Golf produced 2013–2024; affected Audi models were built 2017–2024. KBA said mounting bolts in the steering system may corrode and fracture, which in extreme cases could cause steering failure.
