Touareg 6-cyl Diesel

  • 100,000 miles
A koni North America ("koni") shock absorber bent, which compromised safe vehicle handling, increasing the risk of a collision, causing a crash. These shock absorbers were purchased in April 2011 from neuspeed. The defective absorbers were manufactured with an incorrectly welded bracket which caused the shock absorber to catastrophically bend and rest on the drive shaft, thereby compromising vehicle handling, increasing the risk of a crash. Koni model numbers: 8245 1146L 8241 1146R 8245 1147
