# Service bulletin Circular 69BS

A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it. The summary is NHTSA's. The document is the manufacturer's: read it at NHTSA. A bulletin is not a recall, and listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned.

- Type: Service bulletin
- NHTSA id: 10190517
- Published by NHTSA: 2021\-05\-06
- Manufacturer's number: Circular 69BS
- Manufacturer's date: 2021\-04\-16
- NHTSA component: SEAT BELTS

## NHTSA's summary

Although the front passenger seat belt is compliant with regulatory requirements, Volkswagen has developed a software update that will \(1\) adjust the front passenger's seat belt load limiter timing and \(2\) increase the robustness of the system by decreasing the front passenger's potential chest acceleration during a frontal crash.
