Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .
How this campaign compares
At 837 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 56% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2023 to 2024, so the oldest vehicles on it were one model year old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Volkswagen vehicles have been recalled over the air bags 31 times before this, most recently in June 2024 as 24V464000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 2 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 501 complaints with NHTSA, 158 of them before this campaign was filed. 7 of those name the air bags, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in November 2022, 1 year before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 14 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V030000 (electrical system), 26V028000 (electrical system), 25V836000 (electrical system), 25V434000 (service brakes).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. with NHTSA on August 28, 2024 as campaign 24V643000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
