What Happened
Your 2022 Golf GTI or Golf R's engine design cover may not be securely attached and could come loose during high-speed driving, especially when accelerating.
Risk if Unfixed
If the engine design cover comes loose, it could touch hot engine parts and melt, which could cause a fire.

How to Get This Fixed

Free Fix
Don't worry, this is free! Your dealership will remove the current engine design cover, and once new parts become available, they'll install a new, updated cover at no cost to you.
