MARCH 2009 --
Volkswagen is recalling
approximately 5,000 MY 2009
CC vehicles. Some affected
vehicles may have an
incorrectly routed right
front passenger seat belt
buckle wiring harness,
creating the potential for
wires to become damaged when
the seat is moved fully up
or down or back and forth.
If this wiring damage
occurs, the airbag control
module will switch to a
fallback algorithm and
deactivate the passenger's
frontal air bag. In the
event of a crash, the
passenger's frontal airbag
will not deploy and will not
be able to properly protect
an occupant, increasing the
risk of injuries. Dealers
will inspect and adjust the
routing of the right front
passenger seat belt wiring
harness. If a damaged wiring
harness is found, the
harness will be replaced
free of charge. The recall
is expected to begin on or
before April 24, 2009.
