Defect
Volkswagen is recalling approximately 5,000 my 2009 cc vehicles. Some affected vehicles may have an incorrectly routed right front passenger seat belt buckle wiring harness, creating the potential for wires to become damaged when the seat is moved fully up or down or back and forth. If this wiring damage occurs, the AIRBAG control module will switch to a fallback algorithm and deactivate the passenger's frontal air bag.
Safety risk
In the event of a crash, the passenger's frontal AIRBAG will not deploy and will not be able to properly protect an occupant, increasing the risk of injuries.
Remedy
Dealers will inspect and adjust the routing of the right front passenger seat belt wiring harness. If a damaged wiring harness is found, the harness will be replaced free of charge. The recall is expected to begin during april 2009. Owners may contact volkswagen at 1-800-822-8987.
