Volkswagen to recall more than 400,000 cars over rear seatbelt problem
The outer rear seat-belts may be incorrectly routed at the anchor point. In case of a frontal collision, this could lead to a higher load than that for which the belt system is designed, or allow the passenger to slip underneath the seat-belt.
The recall affects Model year 2018 vehicles.
