ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:ANTI-THEFT:CONTROL MODULE

Removing the key while the shift lever is in a position other than "Park" increases the risk of an unintended vehicle rollaway that may result in personal injury or a crash.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP

If the fuel pump fails, the vehicle will not start, or if the engine is running, it will stop and the vehicle will stall, increasing the risk of a crash.

This page is about a model, not a car

Two 2015 VOLKSWAGEN GTIs can have entirely different histories, and a recall campaign usually covers a build-date window rather than a whole model year — which a VIN does not encode, so only the door-jamb label settles it. Scanning the VIN adds the decode, the crash tests, the fuel economy and the complaints matched to that exact engine, trim and assembly plant.
