Parking Brake Recall
« on: 17 January 2018, 13:46 »
I've just had a call from VW to say their is a recall on my 2016 Golf GTI's parking brake has anyone else had a call? The service representative was very keen to get me in ASAP.

I had mine done when it was serviced after Christmas, they said it was an update to the software.

My GTD was in for a service last Wednesday & they never mentioned anything about a software update, do they normally tell you about it or just do it without mentioning they’ve done it?

I had my recall carried out with a service after c3k miles in November 2016 at 2 months old, didn’t experience any issues and wasn’t aware of the recall before they applied it.
