The driver's side impact air bag could deploy improperly or detach in a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
My passenger airbag light has been showing an error light on and off since March of 2023. I’ve brought it to a Volkswagen dealership 2 separate times, and they advised me they didn’t have a fix for the issue. This is our family car that we HAVE to drive everyday to get to work and school. Everyday someone is at risk by riding in the passenger seat. It’s been 9 months of my family being at risk on …

No incident, not a timely remedy for recall. Recall from March 2023, no remedy available in December 2023, 9 months later.
