Passenger cars – Volkswagen Transporter
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Volkswagen Transporters produced between March 2005 and August 2006 have a defect affecting the second row seating. The backrest of the second seat row may not completely slot into place because the Bowden cable that controls it is too short. This creates a safety risk because in a crash, occupants in the second row would have increased injury risk due to their seatbelts being attached to the potentially loose backrest.
The importer has voluntarily undertaken corrective action to address this issue. Consumers with vehicles matching the affected chassis numbers listed in the recall notice should contact their importer or authorized dealer for the remedy, though the specific details of what corrective action will be taken are not specified in this record.

This product poses a serious risk of injuries because the backrest of the second seat row may not completely slot in because of a too short Bowden cable. In an accident the occupants of the second row would be at a higher risk of injuries than those in the first row as it is the attachment of their seatbelt attached to the backrest that is affected.
