AIRBAG RECALL? HAVE YOU BEEN NOTIFIED YET?

[eGolfeGirl]

I haven't received anything from VW but I saw this the other day.

Anyone else know about a possible airbag issue causing a recall?

 

[phr00t]

This is the first I've heard about it. I haven't been notified. Looks like I'll be calling up the shop tomorrow.

Don't worry about it. There are only 4 e-Golfs affected. Yes, FOUR CARS affected by the passenger airbag detection module recall.

nothing came up when I entered my VIN in the VW recall site.

I think it's more than 4.

In the document I listed, it has the following information:

Population:
Number of potentially involved: 993

Jetta: 721
Golf: 268
e-Golf: 4

That adds up to 993. By the way, out of the 993, they think only 34 are actually defective, but they're recalling all 993 that were made the same way. In addition, these are only the cars that were sold in the US. The VIN number range may include cars that were sold in other territories that are not covered by this recall action.

It's really only 4 e-Golfs in the US.

Does anyone have a way of determining how many 2015 e-Golfs have been sold in the USA?

I'm probably misunderstanding that document... but I find it confusing at the very least. The VIN range spans over 2400 numbers, and the "Not sequential VINs" box is *not* checked, so I don't know how to correlate that with the document's statement that only 4 vehicles being affected. Any idea which part I'm misinterpreting?

 

[miimura]

I'm guessing they should have checked the box.
