Manufacturer : VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA, INC
Manufacturer’s Report Number : JJ
NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID Number : 05V522000
Mfg's Report Date : NOV 11, 2005
Component: AIR BAGS
Potential Number Of Units Affected :1530
Summary: On certain passenger vehicles, a wiring harness condition exists that may deactivate the passenger side frontal air bag even under circumstances when it should remain activated.
Consequence: If this condition occurs, both the air bag warning light in the instrument cluster and the "passenger air bag off" telltale in the center of the instrument panel will properly illuminate. Consequently, the passenger side frontal air bag would not deploy in the case of a frontal crash.
Remedy: Dealers will modify the wiring harness. The recall is expected to begin on November 30, 2005. Owners should contact Audi at 1-800-822-2834.
Notes: Customers can also contact the national highway traffic safety administration’s vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safecar.gov.
