Recalls

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.
