2012 VOLKSWAGEN BEETLE Recalls (3)

Campaign:
12V331000 on 07/15/2012
Component:
Tires
Affected:
83
Defect:
Volkswagen is recalling certain model year 2012 beetle vehicles. some vehicles may be equipped with summer tires that fail to comply with federal motor vehicle safety standards 110 "tire selection and rims" and 139 "new pneumatic tires for light vehicles."
Consequence:
Due to an error at the factory, the affected vehicles were produced with summer tires that are possibly not in compliance with federal motor vehicle safety standards 110 "tire selection & rims" and 139 "new pneumatic tires for light vehicles." in addition, customers may be unaware that their vehicle is equipped with summer performance tires. summer tires have different grip and performance characteristics. these issues may lead to an increased risk of a crash.
Correction:
Volkswagen will notify owners, and replace the noncompliant tires, free of charge. the safety recall began on september 12, 2012. owners may contact volkswagen at 1-800-822-8987.
Notes:
Volkswagen's safety recall number is 44k8/w4.customers may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236(tty 1-800-424-9153), or go to http://www.safercar.gov.

Defect:
Volkswagen is recalling certain model year 2012-2013 beetle vehicles, manufactured from february 2012, through august 2012, and equipped with leather sport seats. if the right front passenger seat gets wet, the occupant control module may not properly detect the presence of a child restraint installed in the seat.
Consequence:
If the control module does not detect a child seat installed, the airbag will not turn off. if the airbag does not turn off, in the event of a crash necessitating front airbag deployment, a child secured in the child seat may be at an increased risk for serious injury.
Correction:
Volkswagen will notify owners, and replace the control modules, free of charge. the recall is expected to begin during january 2013. owners may contact volkswagen at 1-800-822-8987.
