Defect
Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. (Volkswagen) is recalling certain 2012-2015 Passat, 2011-2014 Golf A6, and 2011-2013 Audi A3 diesel vehicles, thought to have been previously repaired under one of the Takata air bag recalls.

Consequence
An inflator explosion may result in sharp metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants resulting in serious injury or death.
Corrective Action
Volkswagen will notify owners, and dealers will replace the driver's side air bag inflators, free of charge. The recall began December 20, 2019. Owners may contact Volkswagen customer service at 1-800-893-5298 or Audi customer service at 1-800-253-2834. Volkswagen's numbers for this recall are 69R6, 69Q8, 69Q9, and 69Y5.

5 common questions answered
NHTSA describes four Air Bags recalls affecting the 2013 Volkswagen Golf. Depending on the vehicle, an inflator may rupture or explode and send metal fragments toward occupants, or a contaminated clock spring may interrupt the driver's frontal air bag connection. A separate Unknown Or Other recall addresses modifications that may leave the vehicle outside regulatory requirements, potentially increasing the risk of a crash, fire, or injury. These conditions may not be obvious during everyday driving, but waiting can leave a safety remedy unresolved. A VIN check identifies the applicable campaign so the manufacturer-specified repair can be completed without charge.
