Recall Service & Dealership Highlights

Protect Occupants

NHTSA’s seat recall involves front seat frame and backrest adjuster parts that may not have been welded properly. In a rear-end crash, the backrest adjustment could break and reduce occupant restraint, increasing injury risk. A separate seat belt recall affects certain Tiguan LWB vehicles, where third-row anchor bolts may not have been properly torqued. The third-row belt may not perform as designed in a crash, so Volkswagen advises that no one occupy that row because of the safety risk. Waiting to confirm your VIN can leave a known safety concern unresolved. A prompt check at Larry H. Miller Volkswagen Lakewood offers a reassuring path forward.
