Volkswagen, Audi, Skoda… The VW Group is recalling over airbags again

Volkswagen is recalling 16,698 vehicles of the T7, Passat, ID.7, Taigo, Polo and ID.BUZZ model series manufactured between 17. 5. 2022 and 27. 5. 2025. The reason for the recall is the front passenger airbag that may burst in the event of an accidental airbag deployment and eject metal parts into the passenger compartment or have a reduced protective effect.

At an authorised workshop, the front passenger airbag is replaced in the affected vehicles.

The Kraftfahrt-Bundesamt (KBA) monitors the recall under the reference number “15191R, 15053R“. The internal manufacturer code is “69UN, 69UK“.

For the same reason, Audi is recalling 1,382 vehicles of the A5, A6, Q6 E-Tron, A6 E-Tron model series with a production date of 27 March 2025 – 8 April 2025 and Skoda 125 new Fabias. In this case, the KBA reference numbers are “15056R, 15075R” and the manufacturer codes are “69DM, 69EB“.

What should an owner do if there's a recall?

Please note that the recall may not apply to all vehicles produced in a given period. If you think your car might be affected, you should immediately contact a dealer or workshop officially authorised to perform repairs on behalf of the manufacturer and ask for the details. You can use our sample request text. After reporting the vehicle's VIN code, you will find out if the defect is present on your car, or if it has already been resolved by the previous owner if the car was purchased second-hand.
