Volkswagen has announced a recall of its Tiguan Allspace crossover SUV due to a potential safety issue involving the vehicle’s curtain airbags. A manufacturing defect may prevent the right and/or left curtain airbags from deploying correctly in the event of a collision, increasing the risk of injury or even death for occupants.
According to the company’s official recall notice, the problem stems from a faulty gas generator fitted in the airbags. “In the event of airbag deployment during an accident, the curtain airbag/s may not provide adequate protection for vehicle occupants which could increase the risk of injury or death,” Volkswagen stated.
Affected customers are urged to schedule an appointment with an authorised Volkswagen dealership to rectify the issue at no cost. The company is committed to ensuring the safety of its customers and will cover the necessary repairs.
For those seeking additional information, Volkswagen Group Australia can be contacted via telephone at 1800 504 076. The recall highlights the importance of vehicle safety and the manufacturer’s responsibility to address potential hazards swiftly and effectively.
As part of its ongoing commitment to customer safety, Volkswagen is taking proactive measures to ensure that all affected vehicles are properly inspected and repaired. Owners of the Tiguan Allspace should act promptly to ensure their vehicles are safe to drive.
