Defect

Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. (Volkswagen) is recalling certain 2012-2015 Passat, 2011-2014 Golf A6, and 2011-2013 Audi A3 diesel vehicles, thought to have been previously repaired under one of the Takata air bag recalls. The driver's side air bag inflator may explode due to propellant degradation occurring after long-term exposure to high absolute humidity, high temperatures, and high temperature cycling.

An inflator explosion may result in sharp metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants resulting in serious injury or death.

Corrective Action

Volkswagen will notify owners, and dealers will replace the driver's side air bag inflators, free of charge. The recall began December 20, 2019. Owners may contact Volkswagen customer service at 1-800-893-5298 or Audi customer service at 1-800-253-2834. Volkswagen's numbers for this recall are 69R6, 69Q8, 69Q9, and 69Y5.

Frequently Asked Questions

2014 Volkswagen Golf Recall OverviewNHTSA recall information identifies five recalls for the 2014 Volkswagen Golf across two affected components:
  • Air Bags: Four recalls involving the driver-side or driver-front air bag inflator and the steering-wheel air bag clock spring.
  • Unknown Or Other: One recall involving modifications made during an internal evaluation period that may leave the vehicle outside applicable regulatory requirements.

Recall applicability is determined by your vehicle identification number (VIN). A vehicle may have an open recall, a completed recall, or a recall that does not apply to its specific VIN. The fastest way to confirm your status is a VIN check through NHTSA.gov or a free check at Larry H. Miller Volkswagen Tucson.

What the Air Bag Recalls MeanThe four Air Bags recalls describe several safety concerns. One driver-side inflator may deteriorate after long-term exposure to humidity, heat, and temperature cycling. If it explodes, sharp metal fragments could strike occupants and cause serious injury or death. Another recall involves debris that may contaminate and tear the steering-wheel clock spring, interrupting the electrical connection to the driver's frontal air bag. If that happens, the air bag may not deploy in a crash, increasing the risk of injury.

Two additional Air Bags recalls involve excessive internal pressure in the driver's frontal air bag inflator. During a crash requiring deployment, the inflator could rupture or explode and send metal fragments toward occupants, potentially causing serious injury or death. Volkswagen's specified remedies include replacing the affected inflator, installing a protective cover over the clock spring, or replacing the clock spring when required. These manufacturer recall repairs are performed free of charge by an authorized dealer.

Unknown Or Other RecallNHTSA also identifies one Unknown Or Other recall affecting certain 2011-2016 Golf vehicles. Modifications made during an internal evaluation period may cause the vehicle not to comply with all applicable regulatory requirements. Volkswagen's remedy is to repair the vehicle so it becomes fully compliant or repurchase it if necessary, free of charge. A VIN check confirms whether this recall applies to your Golf and whether the remedy has been completed.

Protect Occupant Safety

The 2014 Volkswagen Golf has four Air Bags recalls involving inflator degradation, excessive inflator pressure, and a steering-wheel clock spring that may lose the electrical connection to the driver's frontal air bag. Possible consequences include an air bag that fails to deploy or an inflator that ruptures and sends sharp metal fragments toward occupants, potentially causing serious injury or death. The additional Unknown Or Other recall may increase the risk of crash, fire, or injury if the vehicle does not meet applicable requirements. Because a crash can happen without warning, waiting to confirm an open recall leaves an important safety question unresolved.
