- Volkswagen has been informed by its current supplier that driver-airbag gas generators from the original manufacturer Takata (‘NADI’ (non-azide driver inflator) generators) produced during 1997-1999 may be faulty. VW used these gas generators exclusively in vehicles with a wooden steering-wheel rim (at that time an equipment option). Internal investigations have shown that in the event of an accident the restraining effect of the deployed NADI driver airbag might not always be fully guaranteed. Compliance with the statutory requirements in force for protection by an airbag in the event of an accident is thus not ensured.

What is this? Volkswagen cars made between 1997 and 1999 may have a broken airbag part. The part is called a gas generator. It could fail to protect the driver in a crash.
What's happening? VW found that some old airbags might not work right. This is because of a problem with the gas generator made by Takata. The cars have wooden steering wheels.
Does this affect me? This affects some VW Passat and Golf cars from Germany. The cars are in many countries like France, Poland, and others.
What should I do? If you have one of these cars, ask a mechanic or VW dealer to check your airbag. Do not ignore this. Ask your mechanic or VW dealer for help.
