It includes models sold internationally, I would double check with the NHTSA too.
Saveiro 2015-2018 MY - 21,400 vehicles
Rear brake disk mount can fail, leading to wheel locking up.
Crafter 2008-2017-150 vehicles
Due to humidity, airbag propellant fails, in the case of a crash occupants could be impaled by shards.
Tiguan 2018- 3,200 vehicles
Due to humidity, DRL circuitry could be shorted, causing a fire
Golf R 2018- “at least” 173 vehicles
Incorrectly fastened fuel line can become loose, causing fuel leaks and a fire hazard.
A5 2018-2019- eight vehicles
Incorrectly fastened subframe bolts could cause “loss of control” doesn’t describe how.
Jetta 2019 - “at least” 16 vehicles
Incorrectly soldered fuel tank may leak from “FDM” sensor, creating a fire hazard
A3,Q2 2018-2019-56 vehicles
Incorrectly soldered headrest could fail, rendering it inmovable.
PROFECO and VW are quick to point out that it was VW who iniciated the recall, and that any servicing cost needs to be covered by the manufacturer.

I’m just guessing: “subframe falls off” :)
VAG has long built their cars with subframes that will shear off and allow the engine to separate from the car (or travel under it) to prevent passenger intrusion, but it has also led to multiple recalls over the years.

subframe falls off
That certainly sounds like something you wouldn't want happening say, at highway speed.

There’s quite a few recalls on VW Group vehicles in Oz at the moment. The Crafter and Tiguan are both included - the former is a Takata issue.
Also the A4 (3.0 TSI only, 20" wheels only), A5 (3.0 TSI), Porsche Panamera and Cayenne (brakes), Crafter (load rating compliance), Polo (handbrake), Boxter/Cayman (frontal crash structure), Golf (rear seat), A5 (front axle bolts), Tiguan/Tiguan Allspace (interior lighting), Panamera (power steering), A3 (rear seat), Cayenne hybrid (refueling)...plus the swathe of Takata recalls.

Same here . The recall info says the bolts were incorrectly torqued. Only applies to 5 cars too
The 3.0 TSI version has a different issue...fuel rail, I think.
