The Volkswagen Tiguan airbag may rupture and injure passengers

30/06/2025

Volkswagen is recalling 644 vehicles of the Tiguan model series manufactured between 25. 11. 2018 and 18. 2. 2019. The reason for the recall is the head airbag housing that may be damaged. This may cause metal fragments to become detached, which could injure the occupants.

At an authorised workshop, the head airbag will be replaced in the affected vehicles.

The Kraftfahrt-Bundesamt (KBA) monitors the recall under the reference number “15235R“. The internal manufacturer code is “69F0“.
