United States: NHTSA, as of 2026-10-19
22V1630002022-03-16. ENGINE. Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. (Volkswagen) is recalling certain 2022 Golf GTI and Golf R vehicles. Certain driving situations, such as high acceleration driving maneuvers, may loosen the engine design cover.
Canada: Transport Canada, as of 2026-10-19
20225332022-09-21. Engine. Issue: On certain vehicles, the radiator may not be attached correctly. As a result, a coolant hose could be damaged by contact with the serpentine belt pulley and create a coolant leak. If this happens, coolant could spill onto the road and cause a red warning light to turn on in the instrument cluster. If you ignore the warning light and continue driving, the engine could overheat. Safety Risk: A coolant leak could create a hazard for other road users. Additionally, an engine that overheats could create the risk of a fire. Corrective Action: Volkswagen will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealership to ensure that the radiator is attached correctly. If it is loose, the coolant hose and serpentine belt will also be checked for damage, and replaced if necessary.
20221222022-03-16. Engine. Issue: The engine cover may come loose in certain driving conditions. If this happens, the engine cover could contact hot surfaces in the engine compartment and melt. Safety Risk: An engine cover that melts onto a hot surface could create the risk of a fire. Corrective Actions: Volkswagen will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to remove the engine cover. Volkswagen will send you another notice once a replacement engine cover is available, and will ask you to take your vehicle to a dealer to have it installed.

A campaign lists a year, a make and a model, and often only some of the vehicles built. A list with nothing on it is not a clearance either. The lookups below check one VIN.
