Volkswagen is recalling 23,058 Crafter manufactured between 2006 and 2017 to authorised workshops worldwide. The reason for the recall is that a fault in the gas generator of the front passenger airbag can lead to uncontrolled deployment and the release of metal fragments that can injure the occupants when the airbag is deployed.
In an authorized workshop, the passenger airbag will be replaced.
The Kraftfahrt-Bundesamt (KBA) monitors the recall under the two reference numbers “14033R” (2,349 vehicles manufactured in 2006) and “14237R” (20,709 vehicles manufactured between 2007 and 2017). The internal manufacturer code is “69FE“.
