Volkswagen recalls nearly 15-year-old cars due to airbags

Volkswagen is recalling 182,785 Crafter, Fox, Golf, Polo, Vivo and Up! vehicles built between 2008 and 2014 to workshops worldwide. The reason for the recall is a fault in the gas generator of the driver’s airbag, which can lead to uncontrolled deployment and the release of metal fragments that could injure the occupants when the airbag is deployed.

The front airbag on the driver’s side of the affected vehicles will be replaced in the workshop.

The KBA monitors the recall under the reference number “013344” and the internal manufacturer code is “69EJ“.

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.

If you wish to know more about the eventual problems of a specific car (e.g. real mileage, potential traffic accident damages, odometer rollback, repairs, etc.), in that case, we suggest going to this page.
