TROUBLED German carmaker Volkswagen has issued a recall on more than 25,000 cars sold in Australia.

The vehicles affected were built between June 2008 and September 2011 and include the Golf hatchback, the Jetta sedan, the Polo hatchback, the Passat sedan and wagon and the Caddy van.

The automatic DSG gearbox will be inspected and if needed repaired on that batch of vehicles.

The recall follows two weeks of unprecedented pressure from customers demanding their cars be fixed for wide-ranging mechanical faults.

Complaints included engines that conked out, high oil use, and gearbox issues.

In addition to the official recall, Volkswagen Australia will also call 4000 diesel cars back to dealerships for inspection.

News Limited understands that Volkswagen is still yet to issue an official recall following customer claims of sudden vehicle decceleration.

The company says any one experiencing that fault or any others to contact their local Volkswagen dealer.

Volkswagen Australia has set up a dedicated customer service line to answer customer queries - 1800 504 076.
