Recalls for 2017 Volkswagen Beetle Convertible 1.8T S Auto

2017 VOLKSWAGEN BEETLE CONVERTIBLE

NHTSA Campaign ID:

19V615000

Component:

STEERING:COLUMN LOCKING:ANTI-THEFT DEVICE

Manufacturer:

Volkswagen Group of America, Inc.

Manufacture Dates:

07/07/2016 - 06/04/2019

Potential Units Affected:

679027

Defect Description:

Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. (Volkswagen) is recalling certain 2015-2019 GTI, 2015-2016 and 2018-2019 Golf, 2012-2019 Beetle and Beetle Convertible, 2017-2019 Golf SportWagen and 2011-2018 Jetta vehicles equipped with an automatic transmission, manual handbrake and keyless entry. A build-up of silicate on the shift lever micro switch contacts may enable the key to be removed from the ignition when the transmission shift lever is not in "Park."

Consequence:

Removing the key while the shift lever is in a position other than "Park" increases the risk of an unintended vehicle rollaway that may result in personal injury or a crash.

Action to take:

Volkswagen will notify owners, and dealers will install an additional switch and circuit board, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin October 11, 2019. Owners may contact Volkswagen customer service at 1-800-893-5298. Volkswagen's number for this recall is 37M2.

Recalls for 1997 Pontiac Trans Sport 2dr Convertible Formula

1997 PONTIAC FIREBIRD

NHTSA Campaign ID:

96V219000

Component:

SEAT BELTS:FRONT:RETRACTOR

Manufacturer:

GENERAL MOTORS CORP.

Manufacture Dates:

06/01/1996 - 09/30/1996

Potential Units Affected:

1573

Defect Description:

THESE VEHICLES WERE MANUFACTURED WITH SEAT BELT RETRACTORS OUT OF DESIGN POSITION WHICH CAN CAUSE THE RETRACTOR TO LOCK-UP ON SLOPES LESS SEVERE THAN THE FMVSS REQUIREMENT. THIS DOES NOT COMPLY WITH FMVSS NO. 209, "SEAT BELT ASSEMBLIES."

Consequence:

IN THE EVENT OF A VEHICLE COLLISION, UNBELTED OCCUPANTS ARE MORE AT RISK OF INJURY THAN THOSE USING SEAT BELTS.

Action to take:

DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE SEAT BELTS FOR PROPER FRONT SEAT BELT RETRACTOR POSITION. RETRACTORS FOUND TO BE IMPROPERLY POSITIONED WILL BE REINSTALLED CORRECTLY.
