Volkswagen is recalling 208,724 SUVs in the US after finding that moisture can eat through a steering-rack mounting bolt shared across three separate model lines, including the Volkswagen Tiguan.

 

According to NHTSA's recall notice, the bolt in question can fracture if it corrodes enough. A fractured bolt can loosen the steering rack's connection to the vehicle, which can adversely affect steering response or lead to a loss of control.
