Volkswagen is recalling its Tiguan Allspace crossover SUV as its curtain airbags may not deploy properly in a collision.
“Due to a manufacturing issue, the right and/or left curtain airbag/s may be fitted with a faulty gas generator. As a result, the airbags may not deploy as intended,” the company says in its recall notice.
“In the event of airbag deployment during an accident, the curtain airbag/s may not provide adequate protection for vehicle occupants which could increase the risk of injury or death.”
