I'll be mighty impressed if this recall could really put a stop to DSG issues we owners been enduring.

Hell, if it does, I'll sell another car of mine to make it a twin-VW garage.

Right, but imagine if it does happen, what they going to do ? Replace clutch pack ? Replace mechatronic ? Update software ?

Does the above really solve the DSG-7 issues once and for all ? I don't think so, at least from the information I gathered around the local owners here.

It is important for us to understand, what exactly is the root cause and the preventive measures.

I think.

Up till now, VW may still be unsure how to solve it, and keep replace those clutch/MU/ s/w update ...
It could be OEM manufacturer / material problem.
It could be DSG-7 design fault.
No one knows yet, but at least if VW do the recall here, and/or extend warranty to 10 years like China, it gives some peace of mind to some owners.

Recall is out. For DSG-7 made between June 2010-July 2011. Read from The Star Motoring section.

VW Malaysia joins recall of 7-speed DSG cars

PETALING JAYA: Volkswagen Group Malaysia is recalling some cars fitted with the seven-speed Direct Shift Gearbox (DSG) following a similar exercise in Singapore.

Responding to media queries, a Volkswagen Malaysia spokesman said it had identified 3,962 cars in the country that may have the faulty transmission.

He emphasised that only vehicles produced between June 2010 and June 2011 were involved in the recall exercise.

"The mechatronics unit in the seven-speed gearbox will be replaced at no cost to the customer.

“Volkswagen Malaysia is working with our authorised dealers to contact affected customers individually," he said, adding that affected models included the Passat, Polo, Scirocco, Golf, Jetta and Cross Touran.

In a recent report by Singapore's Straits Times, 6,181 VW cars in the island republic were said to have been recalled.

The report said that in rare cases, an electronic malfunction in the control unit or a lack of oil pressure inside the gearbox mechatronics may result in a power interruption.

Unsure. But do check your VIN, decode it.

For me, I have called VGM toll-free line directly to enquire, my VIN not on their list.
