## What is wrong

Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. \(Volkswagen\) is recalling certain 2022 Golf R A8 and Golf GTI vehicles.  The touch switch for the sunroof may be too sensitive, allowing it to be inadvertently pressed.

## What can happen

A sunroof switch that is inadvertently pressed can result in unintended auto\-closure of the sunroof, increasing the risk of injury.

Dealers will replace the roof module switch, free of charge.  Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed September 23, 2022.  Owners may contact Volkswagen's customer service at 1\-800\-893\-5298.  Volkswagen's number for this recall is 60F6.
