20081272008-04-16. Airbag. On certain New Beetle convertible, a frontal crash sensor for the advanced (dual-stage) airbag system may fail. If this occurs, the airbag indicator light will illuminate, and the fallback algorithm will ensure the frontal airbags deploy if needed. However, in low-severity frontal impacts, the front airbags may deploy more forcefully than designed, increasing the risk of injury to out-of-position front seat occupants. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the airbag frontal crash sensors.

A campaign lists a year, a make and a model, and often only some of the vehicles built. A list with nothing on it is not a clearance either. The lookups below check one VIN.
