Volkswagen has recently issued a safety recall for one of their popular utes due to concerns that a manufacturing defect could potentially lead to serious injuries or even death. This recall specifically affects over 700 Amarok vehicles from the years 2023 to 2024. After conducting thorough investigations, the car company discovered that the driver's seat belt may have been improperly anchored.
According to the recall notice, this means that the seat belt may not function as intended in the event of an accident. This poses a significant risk to the safety of the vehicle's occupants, as they may not receive the full protection of the seat belt system. This could ultimately result in a higher likelihood of injury or even death.
In order to address this issue and ensure the safety of their customers, Volkswagen will be reaching out to all affected car owners to schedule a free appointment to have the necessary repairs carried out. A list of vehicles with affected VIN numbers is also available on the Department of Transport Website for reference. For any further inquiries or concerns, car owners can contact Volkswagen Group Australia at 1800 504 076 or email
