What are the defects?
An airbag deactivation switch may have been incorrectly fitted instead of a blanking plug. This could cause the driver to assume that the front passenger airbag has been deactivated when it is always operational.
What are the hazards?
If the driver believes the passenger front airbag has been deactivated, it may lead to an unsafe situation if something such as a child seat was used in the front passenger seat.
What should consumers do?
Owners of affected vehicles can contact their preferred Volkswagen dealership to schedule an appointment to have the vehicle inspected and rectified, free of charge.
