Due to defective protective felt on the seat height adjustment lever, the front seat belts may be torn in the event of a frontal crash. This can lead the seat belt to be pulled between the seat cladding and the lever and to damage the seat belt, impairing its restraining performance. This increases the risk of injuries in the event of an accident.
The Volkswagen Tiguan vehicles affected by this recall were manufactured between 13 May and 17 June 2024.
