What happened

Volkswagen is recalling certain 2016 model year vehicles—including CC, Golf R, Tiguan, and e-Golf models manufactured during specific periods between November 2015 and February 2016—because vibrations from opening and closing vehicle doors may cause the rear child door locks to disengage. If a child unexpectedly opens a rear door while the vehicle is moving, they could fall from the vehicle and be injured.

Volkswagen will notify affected owners, and authorized dealers will inspect and replace the child locks at no cost. The recall began on August 22, 2016. Owners of affected vehicles should contact Volkswagen customer service at 1-800-893-5298 and reference recall number 58C9 to arrange service at a dealer.
