Volkswagen Group Ireland Limited recalls certain Volkswagen model vehicles

30 July 2025

Volkswagen Group Ireland Limited is carrying out a voluntary recall of certain Volkswagen ID.7, ID.BUZZ, T7 Transporter, Passat, Polo, and Taigo model vehicles.

A safety issue has been identified whereby on some vehicles manufactured during a specific period, it is possible that the front passenger airbag may have a reduced protective effect when deployed in an accident. As a result, there may be an increased risk of injury to a passenger. In addition, if the front passenger airbag is deployed as a result of an accident, the gas generator housing may burst or components of the gas generator housing may come loose and cause serious or fatal injuries to vehicle occupants.

There are 77 vehicles affected in the Republic of Ireland that were produced between 17 May 2022 and 27 May 2025.

Volkswagen Group Ireland Limited is carrying out a voluntary recall of certain Volkswagen Arona and Ibiza model vehicles.

The risk description reported to us is that the airbags on the passenger side may have been installed with a material defect in the housing of the gas generator. In the event of an accident, the protective effect of the passenger airbag may be impaired, with a consequent increase in the risk of injury to the passenger. If the airbag is deployed as a result of an accident, the housing of the gas generator may burst or parts of the housing may come loose and cause serious or even fatal injuries to vehicle occupants.

There are 16 vehicles affected in the Republic of Ireland that were produced between 21 September 2022 to 07 April 2025.

Volkswagen Group Ireland Limited is carrying out a voluntary recall of certain Volkswagen Golf model vehicles.

Vehicles manufactured during a specific period were fitted with front-seat belt assemblies that may not have been correctly secured to the anchorage point near the bottom of the B-pillar. If the lower anchorage point of the belt assembly is not secured, the restraining effect of the safety-belt is severely compromised. In the event of an accident, this may result in serious or fatal injuries to the persons sitting in the driver’s seat and/or the passenger seat.

There are 66 vehicles affected in the Republic of Ireland that were produced between 09 February 2024 and 24 May 2024.

25 February 2025

Volkswagen Group Ireland Limited is carrying out a voluntary recall of certain Volkswagen Beetle model vehicles.

On certain Beetle vehicles, if the airbags are activated during an accident, the gas inflator housing of the front airbags may burst. This may be due to deterioration of the propellant due to high humidity and great temperature variation over a very long period of time. If an accident occurs and the front airbags are activated, fragments of the gas inflator may cause injury to passengers.

There are 179 vehicles affected in the Republic of Ireland that were produced between 09 September 2004 to 15 September 2018.

Volkswagen Group Ireland Limited recalls certain Volkswagen Tiguan model vehicles.

23 January 2025

Volkswagen Group Ireland Limited is carrying out a voluntary recall of certain Volkswagen Tiguan model vehicles.

On certain Tiguan vehicles with manual seat height adjustment from a limited production period, a tear to a belt of the front seats may occur in the event of a frontal crash. This is due to defective protective felt on the lever of the seat height adjustment. In the event of a frontal crash, the safety belt may get between the seat cladding and the lever and then damage the safety belt. The restraining performance of the safety belts may therefore be impaired.

There are 51 vehicles affected in the Republic of Ireland that were produced between 13 May 2024 to 17 June 2024.

Volkswagen Group Ireland Limited recalls certain Volkswagen Caddy model vehicles.

21 January 2025

Volkswagen Group Ireland Limited is carrying out a voluntary recall of certain Volkswagen Caddy model vehicles.

On Caddy vehicles manufactured during a specific period, leaks may occur where the brake hose is attached because the rear left brake line is not screwed in correctly. A leak may lead to a slow loss of brake fluid. The resulting low brake fluid level is indicated by a warning light or indicator in the instrument cluster. As a result of the brake fluid loss, braking performance could be affected.

 There are 12 vehicles affected in the Republic of Ireland that were produced between 02 August 2024 to 06 August 2024.
