VW Tiguan

The problem

Due to defective protective felt on the seat height adjustment lever, the front seat belts may be torn in the event of a frontal crash. This can lead the seat belt to be pulled between the seat cladding and the lever and to damage the seat belt, impairing its restraining performance. This increases the risk of injuries in the event of an accident.

The product does not comply with the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles.
