volkswagen Adds 2015-2016 Beetle to Takata Airbag Recall
• Volkswagen is adding the coupe and convertible versions of its 2015-2016 Beetle to the Takata airbag recall.
This time, owners of 2015 and 2016 Beetles are being called back to have the potentially dangerous airbags replaced. This comes in addition to a previous recall targeting 2012-2014 Beetles. Volkswagen says that the threat is not immediate for the vehicles now being recalled, but it reminds everyone that the chances of failure increase with time and exposure to moisture.
“The Takata SDI-D driver frontal airbag inflators installed in the recalled vehicles currently do not pose an unreasonable risk to motor vehicle safety to drivers of affected vehicles,” Volkswagen's recall letter states. “Based on its prior conversations with NHTSA, Volkswagen understands that the Agency is concerned that after additional time, the airbag inflator may not perform properly in the event of a crash. Out of an abundance of caution, Volkswagen agrees to recall certain vehicles.
