Volkswagen Urged to Probe DSG Defects in China

China's quality watchdog said it is in contact with auto giant Volkswagen (China) after some customers complained about defects in the direct-shift gearbox (DSG) of the company's vehicles.

The General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine said in a statement on its website that it had received complaints about unusual noises, vibrations and transmission problems in the DSG of Volkswagen vehicles.

In response to the complaints, Volkswagen on March 1 submitted technology specifications to the watchdog for reference and said it plans to solve the hitches through technology upgradings, according to the statement.
