Reported risk: Issue:
On certain vehicles, the airbag control module may not be mounted properly. As a result, the airbag may not inflate in a crash, or it could inflate suddenly while driving.
Safety Risk:
An airbag that does not inflate properly could increase the risk of injury in a crash. Additionally, an airbag that inflates suddenly while driving could increase the risk of injury or a crash.
Corrective Action:
Volkswagen will notify owners by mail and instruct you to bring your vehicle to a dealer to replace the airbag control module.
Verify each fact at the issuing agency before acting. Recall scope, affected lots, and remediation instructions may be updated by the agency after our last sync.
