Volkswagen Passenger car front axle rod end and control arm screw connection defective

Defect	The screw connection of the rod end and of the control arm may be defective on one side of the front axle. The nuts of the control arm may have been used to fasten the rod ends, and the nuts of the track rod may have been used to fasten the control arm. When braking or accelerating, a loss of pre-tensioning force may occur and consequently the nuts may loosen due to the lack of ribbing. Over time, bolts on the ball joint or the control arm may break off once the nuts on the control arm have loosened. This causes a risk of accident.
Remedy	Recall of the product from end users.
Recall number	SR/01711/25
