An insufficient weld on a transmission oil pipe may cause the vehicle to leak automatic transmission fluid.
If transmission fluid leaks while the vehicle is being driven, the road surface may become slippery, increasing the risk of a crash.
What to do
Volkswagen will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the transmission oil pipe and replace it -- if necessary -- free of charge.
The recall is expected to begin July 10, 2020.
Owners may contact Volkswagen customer service at (800) 253-2834. Volkswagen's number for this recall is 38C7.
