Recall Service & Dealership Highlights

Protect Occupants

NHTSA reports one air bag recall for the 2014 Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen. The driver’s frontal air bag inflator may develop excessive internal pressure and rupture when the air bag deploys. If that happens in a crash, metal fragments could strike occupants, potentially causing serious injury or death. Waiting leaves an identified safety concern unresolved, even if the vehicle appears to drive normally and no warning light is present.
