AIR BAGS
- The defect
- VinFast Auto, LLC (VinFast) is recalling certain 2023-2025 VF8 vehicles. The center air bag mounted in the driver's seat may deploy improperly during a side impact crash and strike the driver's arm.
- What it can cause
- An air bag that strikes the driver increases the risk of injury.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will replace the center air bag, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed January 23, 2025. Owners may contact VinFast customer service at 1-833-503-0600.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or go to nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
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 4,888 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 74% 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 2025, so the oldest vehicles on it were one model year old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Vinfast vehicles have been recalled over the air bags once before this, most recently in May 2024 as 24V369000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 3 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 61 complaints with NHTSA, 25 of them before this campaign was filed. 2 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 July 2023, 1 year before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 3 other recalls published here: 25V559000 (lane departure), 24V369000 (air bags), 23V355000 (electrical system).
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 VinFast Auto, LLC with NHTSA on December 17, 2024 as campaign 24V933000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
