Volkswagen is in a spat with German magazine
Auto Bild over claims that its new, seventh-generation
Golf may already need a
recall. The German weekly reports that new Golfs can leak water into front-passenger footwells due to a faulty drainage tube in their air conditioning systems.
And while the fix itself doesn't sound too terrible, because Volkswagen bases so many cars off the same platform as the Golf,
Auto Bild is claiming that
300,000 models could be affected, including the
Audi A3 and
Seat Leon. That's a very bold claim. For its part, VW is vehemently denying that number, according to
Reuters, saying it's aware of the problem and claiming only 46 Golfs need fixing. In addition, it denies that any
Audi or
Seat models are affected by the issue.
Either way, regardless of how pervasive this leak issue is, North American buyers should rest easy knowing that the problems ought to get fixed by the time the Mk VII Golf finaly reaches our dealerships.
