- Set clock to local time.
- Activate the convenience open/close functions.
- Check the DTC memories of all the control units and erase under-voltage faults if necessary.
NOTE
- After connecting the battery and switching on the ignition, the ASR/ESP Control Lamp -K155- and Electromechanical Power Steering Indicator Lamp light up continuously. The indicator lamps switch off automatically after driving a short distance (less than 100 meters). This activates Steering Angle Sensor -G85-.
- Once -G85- is activated and the ignition is cycled, the Start/Stop function will also start working again and any faults related to the battery being disconnected should be able to be cleared.
Appendix A – Warning and Safety Precautions
WARNING
General
- Testing, assembly, and repair work may only be performed by qualified personnel.
- There is no change interval for airbag units.
- Never test with a test light, volt meter or ohm meter.
- The pyrotechnic components may be checked only when they are installed and with a vehicle diagnostic tester approved by the manufacturer.
- When working on pyrotechnic components and on the Airbag Control Module -J234-, the battery ground cable must be disconnected when the ignition is switched on. Then cover the negative terminal.
- Wait for 10 seconds after disconnecting the battery.
- The ignition must be SWITCHED ON when connecting the battery. Nobody should be inside the vehicle when doing this.
- If the ignition is not switched on after the battery is reconnected – “indicator lamps in the instrument cluster do not light up” – the ignition (key/button) may only be switched on when the driver seat is positioned all the way back.
- Follow the steps after connecting the battery. Refer to → Electrical Equipment; Rep. Gr.27.
- The technician must discharge static electricity before handling pyrotechnic components for the restraint system, for example, before disconnecting the connector. Touching grounded metal parts will discharge the static electricity, for example by touching the door striker.
- Wash hands after touching ignited restraint system pyrotechnic components.
- Pyrotechnic components may not be opened nor repaired; always use new parts (risk of injury).
- Pyrotechnic components that have fallen onto a hard surface or show signs of damage must not be installed in the vehicle.
- Pyrotechnic components should be installed immediately upon removal from shipping package.
- If the procedure must be stopped for awhile, put the pyrotechnic component back into its shipping package.
- It is not permitted to leave a pyrotechnic component out unattended.
- When connecting the restraint system pyrotechnic components, only the person performing the work should be in the vehicle.
- Do not use any grease, cleaning solutions or similar substance on pyrotechnic components.
- Replace the airbag unit if any contaminants such as oil, grease, paint, dye or solvents have penetrated the fabric.
- Pyrotechnic components must not be exposed to temperatures over 100 °C, even for a short time.
WARNING
Special Information Regarding Belt Tensioners
- Use extreme care when removing and installing belt tensioner units. Improper handling of belt tensioner units is very dangerous and could result in serious personal injury.
- Belt tensioner units that are mechanically damaged (dents, cracks) must always be replaced.
- The open end of the belt tensioner should never be pointed at anyone.
- When connecting a belt tensioner, all mechanical parts, including those in the three-point seat belt, must be secured correctly. If it is not possible to connect the belt tensioner because of insufficient space, the seat belt webbing must be rolled up completely prior to connection. In this case there is no increased safety risk, if all other safety instructions are followed. This particularly includes the notes regarding the disconnection of the battery and the static discharging of the technician prior to connecting the belt tensioner.
- Even after a crash, it is possible that the belt tensioner ignited, but the seat belt force limiter did NOT. Treat these components as if they had not ignited.
Chronology of Defect
December 2017: Two seat belt ruptures occurred at two NCAP tests conducted by NHTSA. Analysis and testing initiated.
January 10, 2018: NHTSA opened a PE regarding the two occurrences.
Beginning January 2018, Volkswagen started intensive testing in order to understand what may have caused the seat belt ruptures in the two NHTSA NCAP tests. This included a series of sled tests and full vehicle crash tests. An outside influence was considered as the most likely cause of the results in the two NHTSA NCAP tests.
July 03, 2018: NHTSA upgraded the PE to an EA. Volkswagen continued with its analysis and testing.
July 2018 – May 2020: Ongoing investigation and field monitoring showed no evidence of any problems with seat belt performance in the field or other internal testing.
June 01, 2020: Volkswagen received an IR letter from NHTSA to further investigate this topic.
July 2020 – October 2020: As part of the ongoing analysis, Volkswagen conducted additional testing (sled tests, vehicles crash tests, simulations, field parts analysis) in order to understand the results of the two NHTSA NCAP tests in 2017 and to identify potential additional contributers that may have influenced the test result in the two NCAP tests in 2017. November 03, 2020: Volkswagen presented its findings to NHTSA.
November 11, 2020: Topic was presented to Volkswagen’s Product Safety Committee. No final root cause determination could be identified. All other vehicle tests (release tests, NCAP tests, FMVSS 208 tests) for the Tiguan were successful and did not result in a seat belt rupture. No field events with a seat belt rupture are known for the Tiguan. Volkswagen believes that an outside influence most likely caused the results observed in the two NCAP tests conducted in 2017. Volkswagen could not identify a final root cause for the seat belt ruptures but believes an outside influence may have contributed to the seat belt ruptures in the two 2017 NHTSA NCAP tests. These ruptures differ from several other NCAP-style tests run by Volkswagen in which the seat belts perform well. Nevertheless, out of an abundance of caution, and to exclude influence on the seat belt performance due to potential deviations in the production lot of the seat belts of the Tiguan vehicles tested by NHTSA NCAP, Volkswagen proposed a recall of vehicles built with seat belt assemblies out from the same seat belt production lot as the tested vehicles.
November 17, 2020: Volkswagen briefs NHTSA Office of Defect Investigations on the proposed recall. NHTSA requested meeting to discuss.
November 20, 2020: Volkswagen presented topic to NHTSA Office of Defects Investigations. Decision to proceed with the recall was made.

Appendix A – Warning and Safety Precautions
WARNING
General
Testing, assembly, and repair work may only be performed by qualified personnel.
There is no change interval for airbag units.
Never test with a test light, volt meter or ohm meter.
The pyrotechnic components may be checked only when they are installed and with a vehicle diagnostic tester
approved by the manufacturer.
When working on pyrotechnic components and on the Airbag Control Module -J234-, the battery ground cable
must be disconnected when the ignition is switched on. Then cover the negative terminal.
Wait for 10 seconds after disconnecting the battery.
The ignition must be SWITCHED ON when connecting the battery. Nobody should be inside the vehicle when
doing this.
If the ignition is not switched on after the battery is reconnected – “indicator lamps in the instrument cluster do not
light up” – the ignition (key/button) may only be switched on when the driver seat is positioned all the way back.
Follow the steps after connecting the battery. Refer to → Electrical Equipment; Rep. Gr.27.
The technician must discharge static electricity before handling pyrotechnic components for the restraint system,
for example, before disconnecting the connector. Touching grounded metal parts will discharge the static
electricity, for example by touching the door striker.
Wash hands after touching ignited restraint system pyrotechnic components.
Pyrotechnic components may not be opened nor repaired; always use new parts (risk of injury).
Pyrotechnic components that have fallen onto a hard surface or show signs of damage must not be installed in
the vehicle.
Pyrotechnic components should be installed immediately upon removal from shipping package.
If the procedure must be stopped for awhile, put the pyrotechnic component back into its shipping package.
It is not permitted to leave a pyrotechnic component out unattended.
When connecting the restraint system pyrotechnic components, only the person performing the work should be
in the vehicle.
Do not use any grease, cleaning solutions or similar substance on pyrotechnic components.
Replace the airbag unit if any contaminants such as oil, grease, paint, dye or solvents have penetrated the fabric.
Pyrotechnic components must not be exposed to temperatures over 100 °C, even for a short time.
WARNING
Special Information Regarding Belt Tensioners
Use extreme care when removing and installing belt tensioner units. Improper handling of belt tensioner units is
very dangerous and could result in serious personal injury.
Belt tensioner units that are mechanically damaged (dents, cracks) must always be replaced.
The open end of the belt tensioner should never be pointed at anyone.
When connecting a belt tensioner, all mechanical parts, including those in the three-point seat belt, must be
secured correctly. If it is not possible to connect the belt tensioner because of insufficient space, the seat belt
webbing must be rolled up completely prior to connection. In this case there is no increased safety risk, if all other
safety instructions are followed. This particularly includes the notes regarding the disconnection of the battery and
the static discharging of the technician prior to connecting the belt tensioner.
Even after a crash, it is possible that the belt tensioner ignited, but the seat belt force limiter did NOT. Treat these
components as if they had not ignited.

1 Associated Investigation
Seat Belt Webbing Failure
NHTSA ID: EA18005
Dated opened: July 3, 2018
In December 2017, NHTSA conducted two New Car Assessment Program (NCAP) tests on the 2018 MY Volkswagen (VW) Tiguan. Both tests were 35 mph, full frontal impacts into a rigid barrier with a 50th percentile male dummy seat-belted in the driver position and a 5th percentile female seat-belted in the right front-passenger position. The tests were conducted on December 8, 2017 at MGA Research Corp. in Wisconsin (MGA) and December 13, 2017 at the Transportation Research Center of Ohio (TRC).
During both crash tests, the driver seat belt webbing completely separated in tension where it looped through the seat belt latch tongue (see attached photos). Based on its analysis of the NCAP test results, VW asserted that the test dummy umbilical cord exerted additional forces on the seat belt system causing the separation. To support this theory, VW conducted several sled tests.
The Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) opened a Preliminary Evaluation (PE18-001) on 01/10/2018 to evaluate the two (2) incidents of seat belt separation. ODI and NCAP reviewed the sled test data submitted by VW in support of their theory. Micro analysis, conducted by the Materials Laboratory at the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), verified the seat belts failed in tension and not due to cuts or abrasion.
ODI is upgrading PE18-001 to an Engineering Analysis to further examine seat belt behavior in the subject vehicles and to determine, among other things, a root cause for the seat belt separation . ODI will perform a thorough review of any vehicle and seat belt design changes for the new 2018 MY Tiguan platform and their effects on the performance of the seat belt system.
