What is this? A software problem in some VW T-Cross cars may stop the seatbelt warning from showing or sounding when back-seat passengers forget to buckle up.
What's happening? Volkswagen has found the issue and is fixing it with a free update. Cars that get the update will show and sound the warning again.
Does this affect me? Owners of a T-Cross in Germany, Bulgaria, Estonia, Finland, France, Greece, Hungary, Norway, Romania, Sweden, Slovenia or Slovakia should check with a VW dealer.
What should I do? Call your nearest VW dealer to arrange the free software update; do not ignore any warning lights or sounds.
