Recall date: 20 July 2021
If the vehicle has been exposed to high temperatures and humidity fluctuations over a long period the airbag inflator propellant may degrade. If the vehicle is involved in a collision triggering the driver’s airbag, the airbag inflator may explode/rupture.
Metal fragments from the airbag inflator may propel out through the airbag cushion towards vehicle occupants, causing serious injury or death.
Owners of affected vehicles should contact their local Volkswagen dealership to organise an inspection and repair, free of charge. Volkswagen will replace the inflator of the front airbag on the driver’s side. For further information, owners of affected vehicles can also contact the Volkswagen Recall Campaign Hotline on 1800 504 076 (Monday to Friday, 8am - 6pm AEST) or visit https://www.volkswagen.com.au/app/locals/find-dealer to find their nearest Volkswagen dealership.
