| 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 has also learned that the non-compliant driver airbag installed in affected vehicles contains an inflator that was manufactured by Takata and contains non-desiccated ammonium nitrate. 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 is providing this additional information in advance of the required Takata recall filing in order to keep owners fully informed. |
|||||||||||||||
| Corrective Action | To correct this noncompliance and, at the same time, also address the Takata airbag inflator, dealers will replace driver airbag and steering wheel. | |||||||||||||||
| Parts Information | Parts will be allocated prior to owner notification. If allocated parts have been used and your dealership is at the weekly Upper Order Limit, please submit the backordered sales document number to upperorderlimits@vw.com to have additional parts released. | |||||||||||||||

On or about May 30, 2018, this campaign code will show open on affected vehicles in Elsa. On or about May 30, 2018, affected vehicles will be identified with this campaign code in the VIN Lookup tool at www.vw.com and on the NHTSA VIN lookup tool at www.safercar.gov. |
