This archive groups the collected model-year records for Volkswagen. Each vehicle row opens a record containing campaign details and derived distributions. A campaign may be repeated across multiple vehicle rows when the manufacturer's notice covers several models or years, so vehicle-campaign totals are not unique campaign totals.
The table is limited to vehicles with at least one campaign in this dataset. A missing model-year row means only that the supplied collection has no matching recall record; it is not a statement that the vehicle has never had a defect or that no notice exists elsewhere.
