- Published by: Transport Canada \(Canada\)
- Campaign number: 2024649
- Manufacturer's number: 69GQ/69EG/69E6
- Reported: 2024\-10\-30
- Component: Airbag
- Notification type: Safety Mfr
- Units potentially affected: 18995

## What is wrong

Issue:

On certain vehicles, long\-term exposure to high absolute humidity and temperature, combined with high temperature cycling, may eventually degrade the propellant contained in the driver\-front airbag. This could cause the airbag to deploy with more force than normal. If the airbag inflator ruptures, fragments could be propelled toward vehicle occupants or cause damage to the airbag assembly, preventing its proper function.

Safety Risk:

If the vehicle is involved in a crash requiring an airbag deployment, the airbag inflator could rupture and create a risk of injury.

Corrective Action:

Volkswagen will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to replace the driver\-front airbag.

Note: The Canadian climate results in the propellant degrading slowly. This recall is being conducted as a precaution to address future risk. It is expected that all airbag inflators will be replaced before their function would be affected.
