| Problem Description | Affected vehicles were built with a driver airbag/steering wheel combination that was not released for the United States market. In the event of a crash with airbag deployment, the airbag may not perform as required by regulations, which may increase the risk of injury.
Volkswagen The NHTSA has stated “The propellant in the inflators breaks-down after long-term exposure to high temperature fluctuations and humidity. This breakdown can cause the propellant to burn too quickly, creating too much pressure for the inflator, and in extreme cases the inflator explodes, shooting shrapnel toward vehicle occupants. Using this information, the agency prioritized the recall of air bag inflators based on the risk of injury or death to vehicle occupants.” The Takata airbag inflator in affected vehicles is not required to be recalled under the Takata Coordinated Remedy order until January 2019; however, Volkswagen | |||||||||||||||
