Thanks Carlos.  My 2021 Clubby will have to go in for this. 

Hopefully they can check/sort while I wait.

I’ve literally just had a letter in the post this morning from VW regarding this very recall and to contact my nearest VW repairer to get the car booked in.

Who’d have thought VW would be this organised 🤔

Many thanks for the heads-up. After checking the GOV.UK website, it does list my GTI as recall outstanding.
Just by chance, its booked in on the 1st Feb due to the SOS call light deciding to prove its there by never go off for the last week!
The dealer never mentioned this and once again its down to owners/Forum members to bring it to their attention.
As per......

Ah yes i wondered what they were banging on about when mine went in for its service, mine was done/looked at no issues - pretty pain free

I hear the remedial action is to remove and retain the newly issued replacement engine covers.
