Volkswagen Group has issued a significant recall affecting over 30,000 vehicles due to two separate issues that could impact your safety on the road.

1. Check your VIN: Visit the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's recall database or the Volkswagen and Audi websites to see if your vehicle is affected.
2. Schedule a fix: Contact your local dealer to arrange for the necessary software updates or battery checks.
