Volkswagen Tiguan Allspace

Volkswagen Australia has recalled the 2018-19 Tiguan Allspace, over concerns regarding an issue with the rear springs. According to the company, a certain material used in a 'limited production period' for the rear springs wasn't approved. As a result, there's a risk a rear coil spring will break and damage the rear tyres. If the spring does break and damage the tyres, there's a risk the driver will lose control and cause an accident.

The seven-seat Volkswagen Tiguan Allspace has been recalled, over concerns about the passenger airbag. According to the company, certain examples could contain a defective airbag on the passenger side. The airbag may have been packed incorrectly, meaning it doesn't deploy in an accident. Passengers are placed at greater risk of injury if the airbag doesn't deploy in an accident where it otherwise should. A total of 216 vehicles are included in the recall – a VIN list is attached here.
