VW To Recall 114,000 U.S. Vehicles Over Airbag Issue

Volkswagen will recall 114,478 vehicles in the United States due to concerns over the driver-side airbag, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said, Nathan Gomes reported for Reuters.

The recall includes certain Beetle and Passat models from 2006 to 2019.


"The driver's side frontal airbag inflator may explode due to propellant degradation occurring after long-term exposure to high humidity, high temperatures, and temperature cycling," the U.S. auto safety regulator said.



Volkswagen did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment. As a remedy, dealers will replace the driver's side front airbag module for free, according to NHTSA.
