Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. "Volkswagen" is recalling certain 2016 Golf R vehicles. Incorrect front windshield wiper software was installed which may prevent the wipers from activating.

Windshield wipers that cannot be activated may lead to reduced visibility for the driver and increase the risk of a crash.
