Appears to be an Australian news piece but will this be world wide and effect someone like myself with a 2010 Golf GTi DSG?

Yet another VW quality control/manufacturing issue.
Mk6 GTI Carbon Grey, 2010 Bluetooth and voice fitted, a few VCDS mods still a comfortable family car. Red Scirocco 2011 twin charger stage 1 - enjoyable drive now gone.  White 2016 Polo GTI (roller skate on steroids) replaced with an Indium Grey 2019 7.5 GTI PP.

Only applies in hotter countries not temperate zones like Europe so far. Apparently it is to do with a temperature sensor and linked mechatronic software.
