## What is wrong

Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. \(Volkswagen\) is recalling two 2018 Golf GTI vehicles.  The VIN printed on the Federal Certification label may not match the actual VIN on the vehicle.  As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of 49 CFR Part 567, "Certification."


## What can happen

If the stamped vehicle identification number \(VIN\) does not match the VIN on the Vehicle Certification Label, owners may be unable to tell if their vehicle is under an important safety recall, possibly exposing them to an increased risk of a crash, fire or injury.


## The remedy

Volkswagen will notify owners, and dealers will install a correct certification label, free of charge.  This recall began July 9, 2020.  Owners may contact Volkswagen customer service at 1\-800\-893\-5298.  Volkswagen's number for this recall is  01E7.


## Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1\-888\-327\-4236 \(TTY 1\-800\-424\-9153\), or go to www.safercar.gov.
