Volkswagen incorrect front seat head restraints (rests) may have been installed, possibly resulting in the seat occupant's head being inadequately restrained in the event of a crash.
The short version
Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. reported a problem with the front assembly head restraint. Here is what owners need to know.
Incorrect front seat head restraints (rests) may have been installed, possibly resulting in the seat occupant's head being inadequately restrained in the event of a crash. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 202a, "Head Restraints."
If the seat occupant's head is inadequately restrained in the event of a crash, they have an increased risk of injury.
Volkswagen will notify owners, and dealers will replace the front seat head restraints, free of charge.
