CA Recall: Airbag
On certain new beetle convertible, a frontal crash sensor for the advanced (dual-stage) airbag system may fail. if this occurs, the airbag indicator light will illuminate, and the fallback algorithm will ensure the frontal airbags deploy if needed. however, in low-severity frontal impacts, the front airbags may deploy more forcefully than designed, increasing the risk of injury to out-of-position front seat occupants. correction: dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the airbag frontal crash sensors.
