Body, Interior & Misc.
The wet air bag control module may result in an unintentional deployment of the air bags, increasing the risk of injury or crash.
The drain tube from the climate control system that funnels moisture collected from the vehicle interior during air conditioning system operation may have been twisted, allowing water to drain inadvertently onto the air bag control module. This could cause the module to unintentionally deploy the vehicle's air bats, increasing the risk of injury and a crash.
Recall repairs on your Volkswagen must be performed by a Volkswagen dealership. Volkswagen will notify known owners of affected vehicles beginning in September, 2018. If you do not receive a notification, but wish to check to see if your vehicle is included, please contact one of your local Volkswagen dealerships. They will also check for any other incomplete recalls on your vehicle. For best results, be prepared to provide your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) to the service department consultant you speak with.
