Volkswagen Recall | Inspect Front Seat Side Impact
312-628-4950
Service Action 97 U 3 | Inspect Front Seat Side Impact Airbag Connectors & Install Wiring Harness Kit(s), if Necessary.
What is the problem? Resistance variance within a front seat side impact airbag connector can cause the airbag indicator light on the instrument panel to come on and stay on, even though the side impact airbag system is functioning normally. Please remember to have the airbag system inspected immediately by an authorized Volkswagen dealer if the airbag indicator light comes on. There may be something wrong with the system other than the connector issue described above.
What will Volkswagen do? At no cost to you, we will inspect and, if necessary, install a wiring harness kit that will help prevent this issue from occurring in your vehicle. Both the inspection and repair (if needed) will take about two hours and will be free of charge. Fletcher Jones Volkswagen can also address any other concerns you may have with your vehicle at this service visit.
This no-cost repaid action will only be available until January 14, 2013, and we encourage you to contact Fletcher Jones Volkswagen in Chicago and arrange for an appointment at your earliest convenience. As stated in your Owner's Manual, please keep in mind that your dealer may need additional time for the preparation of the work, as well as to accommodate their daily workshop schedule. Fletcher Jones Volkswagen will not be able to perform this work free of charge after January 14, 2013.
