- [2021326](/recalls/tc/2021326.md), 2021-05-26: Fabrics. Issue: On certain models, the chrome layer could peel off of the trim located around the gear shift cover. If this happens, sharp edges can be created.  Safety Risk: Exposed sharp edges can create the risk of a cut.  Corrective Actions: Volkswagen will contact owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to replace the gear shift cover trim frame.
- [2016662](/recalls/tc/2016662.md), 2016-12-30: Airbag. Certain vehicles may have been equipped with airbag and/or pretensioner igniters that do not meet specifications. This could cause affected airbags and/or pretentioners to fail to deploy properly in the event of a crash, which could increase the risk of injury to vehicle occupants. Correction: Dealers will replace affected airbag and/or pretentioner.
