What This Recall Means
Component
AIR BAGS:FRONTAL
What Happened
The air bag clock spring is a crucial cable that keeps your air bag powered while you turn the steering wheel. In some 2010-2014 Volkswagen models, dirt and debris may get stuck in this cable, causing it to break.
Risk if Unfixed
If the cable breaks, your air bag won't deploy in a crash, which means it won't protect you in the event of a collision. This could lead to serious injury.
How to Get This Fixed
Free Fix
Your Volkswagen dealer will either add a protective cover to the clock spring or replace it with a new one, completely free of charge.
