5 common questions answered
NHTSA recall information identifies three safety or compliance concerns for the 2013 Volkswagen Beetle Convertible. The driver-side air bag inflator may rupture and send sharp metal fragments toward occupants, which can cause serious injury or death. A separate issue may leave the vehicle out of compliance and increase the risk of a crash, fire, or injury. Under certain equipment conditions, a key may also be removed before the transmission is in Park, allowing unintended rollaway. Waiting can leave these risks unresolved. A prompt VIN check helps determine whether your vehicle needs the manufacturer’s remedy.
