Defect
Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. (Volkswagen) is recalling certain model year 2016 Golf R vehicles manufactured March 17, 2016 to March 23, 2016. The affected vehicles may be equipped with a Federal Certification Label that lists an incorrect rear axle weight limit. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of 49 CFR Part 567, Certification.
Consequence
The listed weight limit is low enough that the vehicle owner may ignore the weight limits and overload the vehicle and exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR), thereby increasing the risk of a crash.
Corrective Action
Volkswagen will notify owners, and dealers will install a corrected certification label, free of charge. The recall began July 2016. Volkswagen's number for this recall is 01B5.

5 common questions answered
NHTSA’s Label recall involves a federal certification label that may show an incorrect rear axle weight limit. If the information is disregarded, the Golf R could be overloaded beyond its Gross Vehicle Weight Rating, increasing crash risk. The Child Lock recall involves rear door locks that may disengage from vibration, potentially allowing an unrestrained child to open a door while inside the vehicle. These concerns affect vehicle safety and compliance, not cosmetic details. Waiting can leave a known condition unresolved, so check the VIN promptly and arrange the applicable remedy before the vehicle is used for another trip.
