    Remedy

    On affected vehicles the bolts on both front seat backrests must be replaced.

    Curtain Airbag

    Defect

    In Tiguan Allspace vehicles within a specified range of VINs curtain airbags with a defective gas generator may have been installed due to a manufacturing error.

In the event of an accident where the curtain airbag is deployed components from the gas generator may become detached and injure vehicle passengers

    Remedy

    Replace curtain airbag
