Risk if Unfixed
If the wrong VIN is on your label, you might be unaware of a potential safety issue, which could put you at risk of a crash, fire, or injury.
Free Fix
Volkswagen will notify you and fix the problem by replacing the certification label with the correct one, completely free of charge.
