Volkswagen has decided that a defect, which relates to motor vehicle safety, exists in certain 2019- 2023 model year Volkswagen vehicles. Our records show that you are the owner of a vehicle affected by this action. What is the issue? In the event of a side crash, when the side airbag deployment may be necessary, the side airbag may deploy later than designed, which can lead to an increased risk of injury to vehicle occupants. This issue may be caused by excessive micromovement, leading to fretting corrosion of the door wiring harness terminal contacts. What will we do? To identify and correct this defect, authorized Volkswagen dealers will check both front doors to determine if diagnostic trouble (fault) code(s) specific to the affected wiring harness are present. If the fault code(s) are present for a front door, the affected wiring harness will be replaced in that door. Harnesses will be modified with a zip tie to secure them, and a stabilizing compound will be applied to the terminal ends of the affected wiring harness connectors. If fault codes are not found, the existing wiring harness will be modified with a zip tie to secure it and a stabilizing compound will be applied to the terminal ends of the affected wiring harness connector(s). This work will take about two hours to complete and will be performed for you free of charge. Please keep in mind that your dealer may need additional time for the preparation of the repair, as well as to accommodate their daily workshop schedule. What should you do? Please contact your authorized Volkswagen dealer without delay to schedule this recall work. To set up an appointment online, please visit www.vw.com/find-a-dealer.

UU. Volkswagen determinó que existe un defecto relacionado con la seguridad de los vehículos motorizados en determinados vehículos Volkswagen modelos 2019-2023. Nuestros registros indican que usted es propietario(a) de uno de los vehículos afectados por esta campaña. ¿Cuál es el problema? En el caso de un choque lateral, en el que sea necesario el despliegue de la bolsa de aire lateral, esta bolsa puede desplegarse más tarde de lo diseñado, lo que puede generar un mayor riesgo de lesiones para los ocupantes del vehículo. Este problema puede deberse a micromovimientos excesivos, lo que lleva a la corrosión por fricción de los contactos de los terminales del arnés de cableado de la puerta. ¿Qué haremos? Para identificar y corregir este defecto, los concesionarios Volkswagen autorizados revisarán ambas puertas delanteras para determinar si existen códigos de diagnóstico de problemas (fallas) específicos para el arnés de cableado afectado. Si hay códigos de falla para una puerta delantera, el arnés de cableado afectado se reemplazará en esa puerta. Los arneses se modificarán con abrazadera plástica para fijarlos, y se aplicará un compuesto estabilizador en los extremos de los terminales de los conectores del arnés de cableado afectados. Si no se encuentran códigos de falla, se modificará el arnés de cableado existente con una abrazadera plástica para fijarlo, y se aplicará un compuesto estabilizador en los extremos de los terminales de los conectores del arnés de cableado afectado. Esta tarea demorará alrededor de dos horas y se realizará de forma totalmente gratuita. No obstante, considere la posibilidad de que su concesionario necesite tiempo adicional para la preparación del servicio de reparación y la organización de la agenda diaria del taller. ¿Qué debe hacer? Comuníquese con su concesionario Volkswagen autorizado de inmediato para programar este servicio de reparación. Para concertar una cita en línea, visite www.vw.com/find-a-dealer.

Se recomienda a los clientes que experimenten cualquiera de estas condiciones que se comuniquen con un concesionario Volkswagen autorizado para diagnosticar o reparar su vehículo cuanto antes. Vehículos rentados y cambios de dirección Si usted es el arrendador y propietario registrado del vehículo identificado en esta campaña, la ley exige que reenvíe esta carta de inmediato al arrendatario por correo de primera clase en el plazo de los diez (10) días posteriores a la recepción.
