Volkswagen is offering to repurchase a small number of cars in the United States as part of a new recall campaign conducted with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

The action concerns the 2017 Touareg, Tiguan, Golf, e-Golf and CC, the 2016-2017 Passat, the 2018 Atlas, and the 2018 and 2019 Golf R. In total, 46 cars will be bought back, with the recall population determined by reviewing internal records. The decision comes subsequent to an audit report.

“These internal-use vehicles were sold without confirmation that they were built to all applicable regulatory requirements, and may have been modified prior to sale”, the safety agency notes. “As such, these vehicles may fail to comply with the requirements of various Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards.”

The German automaker “cannot specifically identify a safety risk”, and are unaware of accidents or injuries related to this issue for which “there is no remedy component”. As a result, “Volkswagen will offer to repurchase these vehicles” and “will not offer a reimbursement plan”.

The official dealer and owner notification date has been scheduled for July 2, when the recall is expected to kick off. Owners of these cars will be contacted by mail, and if they don’t hear from VW or have additional questions on the topic, they can reach out at 1-800-893-5298 using the recall number 01F1. They can also get in touch with the NHTSA at 1-888-327-4236.
