Defect

Volkswagen Group of America, Inc.

In the affected vehicles, debris may contaminate the air bag clock spring, a spiral wound, flat cable that keeps the air bag powered while the steering wheel is being turned. This contamination may tear the cable and result in a loss of electrical connection to the driver's frontal air bag.

Consequence

A loss of electrical connection to the driver's frontal air bag will prevent the air bag from deploying in the event of a vehicle crash, increasing the risk of injury.

Corrective Action

Volkswagen will notify owners, and dealers will install a protective cover over the steering wheel clock spring if the air bag light is off.

NHTSA campaign 19V615000 · Reported Aug 22, 2019 · 679,027 vehicles affected

Defect

Consequence

Recall Service & Dealership Highlights

Safety Comes First

NHTSA recall information describes power-train defects that may cause a stall-like condition or sudden loss of drive power, raising crash risk. Air-bag concerns include clock-spring damage that may prevent deployment and an inflator that may rupture and send metal fragments toward occupants. Other reported issues include brake-fluid leakage, rear trailing-arm fracture after prior damage, unintended rollaway, and engine shutdown from a qualifying aftermarket water pump. Waiting can leave a known safety risk unresolved, especially when a failure could happen while driving.
