## NHTSA's summary

VOLKSWAGEN RENTAL CAR AGENCY COMMUNICATION \(Upcoming Voluntary Safety Recall 69i9 2012\-2013 Model Year Volkswagen Beetle with Leather Sport Seats Passenger Occupant Detection System Control Module \(J706\)\): Vehicles equipped with leather sport seats have been built with an incorrectly coded Passenger Occupant Detection System Control Module\(J706\) in the right front passenger location. If the leather seat gets wet and if a child restraint is secured on the right front passenger seat, the control module may not properly detect the child restraint. The right front passenger air bag will not be turned off as expected. The PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF light will not illuminate, alerting the driver that the passenger airbag has not been turned off. The corrective action taken was to Replace Passenger Occupant Detection System Control Module \(J706\).
