VW Tiguan
The problem
Due to a manufacturing defect, the left-hand front seat (in the direction of travel) may develop cracks on the right-hand side of the seat frame/seat pan. Cracks may affect the strength of the seat's structure which could cause the seatback to collapse in the event of an accident, increasing the risk of injury for passengers.
