Details Of The Latest Volkswagen Recall

The latest Volkswagen recall affects vehicles manufactured between May 24, 2024, and April 1, 2025. The identified issue involves a problem with the rear seatbelt buckle latch plate, which may break in the event of a frontal collision. Additionally, there is a possibility of failure in the webbing of the rear centre seatbelt assembly, along with the rear right seatbelt buckle.

Safety Concern For Rear Passengers

This defect poses a potential safety risk to passengers occupying the rear seats, as the seatbelts may not function as intended during a frontal impact. In such a scenario, the compromised seatbelts may not adequately restrain rear-seat occupants, increasing the risk of injury.

Volkswagen’s Response and What Owners Should Do

Volkswagen are expected to contact owners of the affected vehicles to schedule inspections and repairs. The company will likely offer the necessary corrective measures, including inspection and replacement of the faulty parts, free of charge to the customers.

If you own a Volkswagen Virtus or Taigun Kylaq manufactured within the specified period, it is crucial to:

• Check the Volkswagen India recall page on their official website and enter your car’s Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) for confirmation.
