The contact owns a 2014 Volkswagen Passat. The received notification of the NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V834000 (AIR BAGS) and requested to be removed from the recall distribution list. The local unknown dealer and manufacturer were contacted.
The Volkswagen dealership advised they could not fix the airbag recall. They said that the parts are on extreme back order, they can-??t schedule an appointment for me to get it fixed, and they have no time estimate on when it can be fixed. I-??m very concerned since the airbag recall lists that the driver airbag can explode and cause severe injury or death.

Recall came out 12/2024; called local dealership niello VW of sacramento ca in January was told parts would be available in April. Called in April was told parts are now not available until September at the earliest and now its saying there is not even a remedy available. And the possible outcome of the airbag unintentionally going off is serious injury or death to driver and passengers. I drive my car to work every day and feel more unsafe from the airbag being a potential hazard instead of a safety feature.

This car was cited for recall due to defective driver side airbag in December 2024 and as of this date -?" July 18, 2025 -?" VW has not provided any repairs.
Volkwsagen has still addressed the recall of 24V834. I can't find anywhere else to submit a complaint. When I call them they say they do not have the parts even though I was notified of the recall in December 2024. I also called into the NTHSA but no one answers your phone. I think your employees are picking up and leaving the phone off the hook.
Called the dealership at commonwealth motors and all other dealership to take care of the recall as that is the only reason why I am a unable to pass inspection. Dealer ships all around said the part for the takata airbag recall is not in stock and will not be available till December 2025

I own a 2014 Volkswagen Passat. I received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V834000(Air Bags) dated December 2024. For the past 6 months, I have attempted to address this issue but the part to do the recall repair has not been available available. In fact, I even brought my car into the dealer today, advised that the part was available, but in fact it was not. SIX MONTHS! Is this a critical issue or not? The dealer was contacted. The manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair.

The driver-side front airbag in my vehicle is under a safety recall due to the risk of it deploying improperly and releasing metal fragments, which could cause serious injury or death. I initially contacted the dealership in March and was told that I was not affected by the national backorder, and that the replacement part would arrive by early May. I have now been informed that the part will not be available until September. This delay is unacceptable and directly endangers my safety. I live in a region with high summer heat and humidity, conditions known to increase the risk of inflator failure in recalled airbags. Volkswagen, as the manufacturer, has failed to meet its recall obligations. I have contacted their customer service, and instead of offering a timeline, solution, or safe alternative, I was referred back to the dealership, who also had no answers. Volkswagen has provided no transportation assistance, no escalation process, and no accountability, even though they are responsible for ensuring the timely repair of this safety-critical component. The part has not been inspected or replaced by anyone, and I am being forced to drive a vehicle I know could cause serious harm. There are no warning lamps or error messages in the vehicle, but the danger is explicitly outlined in the recall itself. Volkswagen-??s delay, lack of communication, and refusal to assist puts my safety, and the safety of others, at serious risk.
