Audi and VW are recalling 734 examples of the 2015 Tiguan with production dates between January 15, 2015, and January 21, 2015, and the 2015 Q5 built between January 13, 2015, and February 3, 2015. What is being replaced are airbag inflators that can rupture after a crash.
This recall is the latest one of many for Takata related airbag issues. Honda recently recalled 2.2 million cars due to faulty Takata airbags. A side airbag ruptured in a 2015 Tiguan in June 2015, and the driver sustained slight injuries under the left arm. The person didn't need to seek medical attention. VW and Audi will advise owners on the recall.
