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.
