22V543000
AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:PASSENGER SIDE:INFLATOR MODULE
An inflator explosion may result in sharp metal fragments striking occupants, resulting in serious injury or death. An improper air bag deployment may not properly restrain the occupant, increasing their risk of injury in a crash.
19V615000
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.
16V647000
ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:EMISSION CONTROL
As fuel accumulates in the EVAP system, it may leak out through the charcoal canister filter element. A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of a fire.

This page is about a model, not a car
Two 2016 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.
