Corrosion could cause a bolt to fracture, leading to steering failure, though no such incidents have been reported, the statement said.



"A corrosion problem" was discovered in quality control checks of the vehicles, a Volkswagen spokesman told AFP.



"We're now recalling the affected vehicles as a precautionary measure, and there have been no human injuries," he said, adding that drivers can continue using the vehicles until obtaining a dealer appointment for bolt replacements.
