The problem

Volkswagen is recalling 720 my 2008 audi tt coupe vehicles. These vehicles were produced with c-pillar trim cover clips that do not provide adequate retention. In the event of a deployment of the rear pyrotechnic safety belt, the c-pillar trim cover may become detached from the sheet metal due to low retention force of the trim clip.

The risk

The detached trim cover could pose a risk of personal injury for vehicle front seat occupants.

The fix

Dealers will install an improved clip on the affected vehicles. The recall began on march 7, 2008. Owners may contact vw/audi at 1-800-822-2834.
