Volkswagen is recalling certain 2015 Jetta, Golf, and E-Golf vehicles due to a defect in the Passenger Occupant Detection System (PODS) control module. The control module may have been manufactured improperly, which could cause the front passenger seat occupant to be incorrectly classified or not detected by the system. If a crash occurs, this defect may cause the passenger frontal air bag to deploy improperly or fail to deploy entirely, increasing the risk of injury to the passenger.
Owners of affected vehicles should contact Volkswagen customer service at 1-800-893-5298 to schedule an appointment. Volkswagen will notify owners and dealers will replace the PODS control module at no cost to the owner. The recall began on November 20, 2015, and owners may reference recall number 69L6 when contacting Volkswagen.
