The Hazard!

Volkswagen AG has established that on your vehicle there is the potential that the strength of the backrest positioner on the front seats may be insufficient due to a joining seam not being applied correctly. This may increase the injury risk for passengers in a serious rear impact.

What to do...

For safety reasons a check of the front seats on your vehicle is necessary. The check takes about half an hour. If a backrest requires replacement, this may take additional time.
