Volkswagen recalls about 4 million vehicles in Germany and Europe over steering screw corrosion risk

Volkswagen, the German automaker, is recalling about four million vehicles across four brands—VW, Audi, Skoda, and Seat—due to a potential corrosion issue with a steering system screw. The recall, reported by Handelsblatt, is the largest since the Dieselgate scandal. The affected models include 2.16 million VW, 700,000 Audi, over one million Skoda, and 200,000 Seat vehicles. Volkswagen says the repair is precautionary and will take less than an hour. The company has not disclosed the cost.
