Recalls and Failures
The first generation Touareg has had reports regarding premature failure of the center support bearing. This failure has occurred after 100,000 km, beyond the vehicle warranty coverage. VW dealers recommend the fitting of a non-genuine bearing part or the replacement of the entire drive tail shaft assembly.
Certain Australian Touareg vehicles have been recalled due to faulty rear belt locks that may have been fitted because of a riveting defect.

Famous quotes containing the words recalls and/or failures:
“Fear of error which everything recalls to me at every moment of the flight of my ideas, this mania for control, makes men prefer reason’s imagination to the imagination of the senses. And yet it is always the imagination alone which is at work.”
—Louis Aragon (1897–1982)
“It helps parents to feel better if we remind them of our failures with them! And how they turned out just fine despite our imperfections.... We never get over needing nurturing parents. The more we comfort our own adult children, the more they can comfort our grandchildren.”
—Eda Le Shan (20th century)
