Belgian family stranded in Argentina due to motorhome software error

A Belgian family with four children has been stranded in Argentina for weeks during their South American trip.

The manufacturer states the code can only be cleared at a specific Volkswagen factory located 867 kilometers away.

The plush cars and campervans sunk on Gwynedd graveyard beach in 2025

Vehicle strandings at Traeth y Graig Ddu beach in Gwynedd increased significantly in 2025, with an estimated 30 cars and motorhomes recovered. A local farmer using a tractor performed most rescues as drivers, often from cities, misjudged the rapid tides and parked too low on the sand. Approximately one-third of the vehicles were submerged by seawater, leading to likely insurance write-offs.

Sepa confirmed there are no authorised discharge points at the site and urged witnesses to report incidents.

The development has been controversial since its start, with work carried out by Bam Nuttall under a separate agreement with a private landowner.
