Some Volkswagen Eos owners report experiencing an airbag fault notice with an unknown side failure, which can stem from various potential issues. These may include random failures that trigger the airbag light without any prior accidents, as well as loose or corroded connections within the airbag system. Additionally, specific component failures such as the Side Airbag Igniter or Airbag Module/Sensors can also lead to this warning. Some owners find that if the airbag system fails to receive a response during the diagnostic cycle, the airbag light remains illuminated until the issue is resolved. It is advised that owners seek a professional inspection to diagnose the problem, reset the airbag system, and ensure all safety features are functioning correctly. Prompt attention to these issues is essential for maintaining vehicle safety.
