Audi VW’s Tiguan recall goes smoothly
[THE INVESTOR] Audi Volkswagen’s recall of its Tiguan compact SUV in Korea has been going without a hitch, industry sources said on May 12.
In January, the Seoul government allowed Audi VW Korea, the local importer and distributor, to recall some 27,000 Tiguan cars sold here for fabricating test results of emissions, noise and fuel efficiency.
As of May 6, Audi VW Korea recalled 9,200 Tiguans, or 34.3 percent of the total vehicles affected. The process that began on Feb. 6 is required to achieve a recall rate of 85 percent within 18 months.
The relatively high percentage points to the fact that Audi VW Korea’s recall has been going smoothly in light of the required period, industry watchers said.
