Why no DSG gearbox recall? I have owned a Skoda Superb 1.8 TSI DSG estate since new. I hear these cars have been subject to DSG recalls in other parts of the world, so why not here? The problem with dry-clutch seven-speed DSGs appears to be either warping of the plates or electrolysis, subjecting the Mechatronic control units to conductive deposits that could cause the gearbox fuse to blow and cause you to lose drive. DSG boxes have not been recalled in Europe because the problem hasn't occurred here and the VW Group has been able to convince relevant authorities that the safety risk is not sufficient. While I am aware that DSGs fail more frequently than conventional torque converter automatics, the problem is not so rife that owners should panic. Many readers have had years of trouble-free DSG service.
