1870 Volkswagen 2021-2023 Caddy models have been recalled due to a defect that could cause a false sense of security among owners of the vehicle.

An airbag deactivation switch may have been incorrectly fitted instead of a blanking plug. This could cause the driver to assume that the front passenger airbag has been deactivated when it is always operational.

If the driver believes the passenger front airbag has been deactivated, it may lead to an unsafe situation if something such as a child seat was used in the front passenger seat.

Owners of affected vehicles can contact their preferred Volkswagen dealership to schedule an appointment to have the vehicle inspected and rectified, free of charge.
