## What is wrong

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.

Owner notification letters were mailed by March 29, 2022.  Owners may contact Volkswagen customer service at 1\-800\-893\-5298.  Volkswagen's number for this recall is 10H5.
