Model years
The number under each year is the number of recall campaigns.
| Model year | Recall campaigns | Complaints | Share of the line average | Units in the campaigns |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1989 Volkswagen Syncro NHTSA page | 1 | 0 | 300 | |
| 1988 Volkswagen Syncro NHTSA page | 1 | 0 | 300 | |
| 1987 Volkswagen Syncro | 2 | 0 | 15,800 | |
| 1986 Volkswagen Syncro | 2 | 0 | 15,839 |
The share is the complaints of the model year divided by the average of the line for one model year. A campaign that names 3 model years is in the count of each of the 3.
A model year with fewer than 2 campaigns and fewer than 25 complaints has no page here. The link in its row opens its NHTSA page.
