2019-20 Volkswagen CR Touareg: transmission oil leak due to incorrect weld

In June 2020, recall campaign 38C6 was issued for Volkswagen Touareg vehicles that were available for sale in Australia from 1 December 2019 to 31 May 2020. In these vehicles, a gearbox oil pipe may have been incorrectly welded and this could result in a transmission oil leakage. If transmission oil leaked, the risk of a collision – and therefore injury to occupants and other road users – increased. For the VINs of the recalled vehicles, please see PRA 2020/18353.
