Volkswagen Group of America issued a recall for more than 208,000 vehicles in the U.S. over an issue with a bolt on the steering rack mounting. 

The right-side mounting bolt on the steering rack can corrode when moisture enters the surrounding area. If that bolt breaks, the steering rack could remain attached to the vehicle's subframe by one remaining mounting point, Fox News reported. 

Continued use could cause the housing to fracture, leading to a loss of steering control, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). 

The recall impacts certain 2018 Tiguan, 2018-2019 Atlas and 2019-2021 Audi Q3 vehicles, the NHTSA announced.

The recalled vehicles were manufactured with a specific type of steering rack, limiting the issue to only the recalled vehicles.
