The side impact air bags on both the driver's and passenger sides may have delayed deployment in an accident due to corrosion in the electrical contacts of the door wiring harnesses. If deployment of the air bags is delayed in an accident, risk of injury is increased.
Recall repairs on your Volkswagen must be performed by a Volkswagen dealership. Volkswagen will notify known owners of affected vehicles beginning in June, 2022. 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. The Volkswagen recall number is 97GF.
