Volkswagen this defect can affect the safe operation of the airbag system.
The short version
Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. reported a problem with the ignition switch. Here is what owners need to know.
This defect can affect the safe operation of the airbag system. Until this recall is performed, customers should remove all items from their key rings, leaving only the ignition key.
If the ignition key inadvertently moves into the OFF or ACCESSORY position, the engine will turn off, which will then depower various key safety systems including, but not limited to, air bags, power steering, and power braking. Loss of functionality of these systems may increase the risk of crash and/or increase the risk of injury in the event of a crash.
Volkswagen will notify owners, and dealers will replace the ignition switch and key FOBs, free of charge.
