2014 VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT Air Bags Problems

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.

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.

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.

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.

I have contacted Centennial VW in Las Vegas, NV about the recall in December 2024 and they said the part is still on back order.

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

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...

I received notice of this safety recall, and contacted Ganley VW of Bedford, 250 Broadway Ave, Bedford, OH 44146, (888) 650-9208. They scheduled an appointment for me to have my airbag fixed per the recall, but then they cancelled my appointment because the parts were on backorder with no foreseeable date to fix the issue. They said they'd call me when they could schedule, but it has been months and I have not received a call. I called again today, 4/22/25, and was told parts are still on backorder and I cannot schedule a time to get the issue fixed. I was told maybe in 2 more months I could get it fixed.

I took my car to the dealership for the recall on the airbag and was told they are unable to replace it at this time due to a parts issue. I live in Hawaii and from my understanding high temperatures and humidity exacerbate the issue and I am concerned for my safety and the safety of others.

There is an active recall (69E6 - Driver Frontal Airbag Inflator) on my 2014 Volkswagen Passat. About 2 months ago, I scheduled an appointment with my local Volkswagen dealer to get this recall resolved. I was told that the parts were on back order and haven't heard anything for almost 2 months, meaning this is not being resolved in a timely manner and I continue to drive my car with added risk. I have continued to reach out to the dealer to no avail. Today, I then attempted to contact Volkswagen directly and was unable to gather anything of value as they continued to tell me that all I can do is continue to stay in touch with my Volkswagen dealer (conversation has been downloaded). At this point - I have no clue how to proceed and just wish to have my recall repaired so I can drive without extra...

Employee name antoanete refused to assist in recall repair and loaner vehicle I asked for manager , new manager Andrew wasn’t even available I was promised a call back it didn’t happened . I made 5 calls and antoanete doesn’t help customers she doesn’t know anything and manager not available each time My issue is not resolved

The wheel clock spring in the steering column is making loud noises and the horn has stopped working. The airbag light has come on now and the only solution is replacement of the wheel clock spring to make the vehicle safe for the driver. Should be covered under the recall of 2014 VW Passats

My clockspring is broken. I called the dealership to see if the Warranty was done or if there was a recall, they said it was done. I don’t understand how it could have possibly been done when clockspring are not commonly broken. I am very upset I will be having to pay out of pocket for this.

The airbag light came on and shortly thereafter the steering wheel buttons stop working, the steering was stiff and harder to turn and ultimately the horn stop working. I feel driving a vehicle with a broken clock spring is extremely dangerous and is a safety issue.

While driving the vehicle and making a slow speed turn into a drive way, the wires in the clock spring portion of the Driver airbag were severed mechanism. This has caused the car to no longer have airbags on the Driver side of the car. Volkswagon has recalled some of the car in this model year, but they continue to say my vehicle is not affected. When this happened, I had less than 90,000 miles on the car. I am unable to fix this defect because of the cost and honestly, I shouldn't have to as Volkswagon knows it's an issue and has made recalls of their cars, but they don't include my model year. This is wrong, as the issues I am having are the EXACT SAME AS THE CURRENT RECALL. The recall needs to be expanded to more cars in the 2014 model year. There is no way...

The controls on the steering wheel have stopped working along with the air bags were disabled (the light is on). Sounds like the clock spring.

The clock spring is out on the vehicle again

Clock spring is broken air bag will not deploy which is a recalled component for some vehicles. Somehow my Vin is not on the list.

I’ve been try to contact the recall department for my air bag issued for 2years straight since I purchased the vehicle but no appointment has been set to fix the airbag recall

In 2022 I was in an accident on the highway; a dear hit my car while I was traveling at 70 MPH. My airbags did not deploy and I ended up hitting my head on the driver side window really hard and it gave me a concussion and I injured one of the disks in my back. I almost got hit by semi trucks traveling behind me as well. Again, my airbags didn’t deploy after this and I’ve seen many recalls on the 2014 VW Passat specifically about the vehicles airbag deployment being that they’re also Takata airbags that had major recalls too. They should’ve deployed on a head on collision. My insurance didn’t total my car but I have proof that the entire frame was bent from the accident and my entire front headlight, fender and bumper are smashed in and wires for my transmission were severed. I still...

I was driving my vehicle under normal driving conditions (daylight, dry roads) and I was making a left turn onto another street from a completely stopped position. As I made the turn, the airbag warning light on my Passat came on. It remained on for the duration of my drive. When I got home, I discovered that my horn no longer works, nor do any of the wheel controls on the steering wheel. My safety is now at risk because if I am involved in a frontal accident, there is no airbag. I am also now unable to signal other drivers due to my lack of horn. I now have a solid illuminated air bag light on the dashboard. To my knowledge, this car has never had any items replaced in a recall, but it could have been part of a recall before we bought it from the dealer.

Vehicle originally was taken in for a recall on the clock spring, now having the same issue again start up a couple months ago. The driver side airbag will no longer function under these conditions

A faulty clockspring in the steering wheel failed so the driver air bag and the horn do not work. The car can’t pass a safety inspection. This is a faulty part that the NHTSA issued a recall for some years back (I believe in 2015). The replacement part has been back order for upwards of 9 months for 1000s of VWs in the US. If the cars cannot pass a state safety inspection there should be a safety recall issued immediately.

The clocksping in the steering wheel is broken, but the part has been backordered for over a year. The broken clockspring makes the horn and buttons on the steering wheel unusable and the airbag will not deploy.
