Years on file

Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. has filed 188 recall campaigns with NHTSA between January 31, 2020 and September 11, 2026, covering up to 5,846,689 vehicles in total. The system it has been back to most is electrical system, named in 30 of them (16%). The busiest year was 2022, with 46 campaigns.

A vehicle covered by two campaigns is counted in both, so the total above is a sum of campaign populations and not a count of distinct vehicles. Campaigns where the manufacturer had not yet reported a population contribute nothing to it.
