Defect
On certain vehicles, the third-row bench seat may be wide enough for three passengers but is only equipped with two seat belts. As a result, the seat may not meet certain requirements of Canadian regulations.
Safety Risk
Not wearing a seat belt can increase the risk of injury in a crash.
Remedy
To reduce the safety risk, Volkswagen advises that you shouldn't transport more than two passengers in the third-row bench seat. Volkswagen will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to install trims on the third-row bench seat to adjust the width.
