What This Recall Means

What Happened
There's a problem with the A-pillar trim covers on your 2009 Q5. A small clip might not have been made correctly, which could cause the trim to become loose when the side airbags deploy.
Risk if Unfixed
If the trim piece comes loose, it could hit you or a front seat passenger during a crash, causing injury.

How to Get This Fixed

Free Fix
Volkswagen will inspect and replace the clip for free. They'll fix it as soon as possible, and you can contact them at 1-800-253-2834 if you have any questions.
