Country	South Korea

Published	2024-07-26
Manufacturer	Volkswagen Group Korea Co., Ltd.

Defect	The adaptive headlight's variable beam should only operate when the vehicle is moving forward and steering to the right; however, due to a lighting control software error, there is a possibility that the headlight's variable beam may operate even when the vehicle is reversing on a curve, leading to a recall. (This may not comply with some parts of Article 38 (Headlights) of the Regulations on the Performance and Standards of Automobiles and Automobile Parts, and thus may not meet domestic automobile safety standards.)
