DECEMBER 2009 -
Volkswagen is recalling
certain model year 2009 Q5
passenger vehicles
manufactured between
November 25, 2008 and June
4, 2009. A left and/or right
a-pillar trim cover clip may
not have been manufactured
correctly, allowing the
a-pillar trim to become
loose when the sideguard
head protection airbags
deploy during a crash. If
this happens, a loose trim
piece could injure the front
seat occupants of the
vehicle. Volkswagen will
inspect the clip in the
middle of the left and right
a-pillar covers and replace
it free of charge. The
safety recall is expected to
begin during January 2010.
