Probably, since my '18 R was made in Germany, but I've already had a fuel line recall.

Welp good thing I replaced them.

Anyone with an 18R put their VIN into the recall thing yet to see if they're affected?

Mine have been in the trash for over a year.

Dude, Take the trash out!

Likely the VIN list on VW’s website is not updated yet. I know when the fuel pump thing came out I got the physical notice first before the website list was updated

I don't know the answer to this but who makes the recalled springs? Assuming the springs pass required inspection and the paperwork was good, don't see how it makes a difference where VW chose to assemble the car (Mexico, Germany, Tennessee, etc). Good the manufacturing defect was caught, hopefully it wasn't due to a part failing and causing someone to be hurt or worse.

Wife's '15 Golf SE is clear, does need the shifter microswitch though.
My Sport is not affected.

My 2016 GTI S is not listed.

I doubt they updated the website yet guys. Give it some time.

I bet it's mostly wagons. I've talked to several owners whose rear springs seem to sag or compress pretty early in ownership, especially the 4Motions.

Interesting. I plugged my 2017 GSW VIN in, no recall.

Looks like Canada has 15,000 units affected also

Of course VW Canada doesn't have a vin lookup function, why would they... :|

My 2015 1.8 AT Golf S is not on the list. At least not now.
