More Volkswagen Polo Sedan vehicles have been recalled.
Volkswagen of South Africa (VWSA) said the recall of the
253 cars is due to incorrectly fitted seat belts on the driver and passenger
sides. The vehicles were made available for sale from 11 August 2022 to date.
COURTESY: VWThe National consumer Commission (NCC) announced a recall
of 18 vehicles on 17 July 2025 affected by a vehicle manufacturing issue, which
was caused by a mix-up of belt webbing. According to the supplier, the recall
is due to a rear right seat belt fault; both rear seat belts (left and right)
require inspection.
‘’As a result of the defect, the seat belts' restraint
function may be severely limited in the event of an accident. This could lead
to serious or fatal injuries for the driver. Consumers are advised to contact
any VWSA-approved dealership for a check and, if necessary, a replacement of
the affected component,’’ said NCC in a statement.
‘’The success of these recalls is dependent on the response
by the motorists of these affected vehicles. We remind consumers that the
recalls are safety critical; therefore, consumers must respond to any recall
with urgency. The National Consumer Commission continues to monitor all the
ongoing recalls,’’ it added.
