JUNE 2011 -- Volkswagen is recalling certain model year 2012, CC vehicles, for failing to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicles Safety Standard No. 138, "Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)." The factory installed wheels and tires were replaced at the port with accessory wheels and tires that were not equipped with the proper TPMS sensors. With the incorrect TPMS sensors, drivers will receive a constant warning from the tire pressure monitor system. The system alerts the driver but, due to incorrect TPMS sensors, the system cannot determine if the vehicle tires are properly inflated. This increases the risk that the vehicle will be driven with one or more underinflated tires, increasing the risk of a tire failure that may lead to a crash. Volkswagen will replace the TPMS sensors with the proper sensors to make the TPMS system of the vehicles compliant with FMVSS 138. As of June 1, 2011, Volkswagen has contacted all affected customers to schedule the repairs free of charge.   11V-312

MARCH 2009 --  Volkswagen is recalling approximately 5,000 MY 2009 CC vehicles. Some affected vehicles may have an incorrectly routed right front passenger seat belt buckle wiring harness, creating the potential for wires to become damaged when the seat is moved fully up or down or back and forth. If this wiring damage occurs, the airbag control module will switch to a fallback algorithm and deactivate the passenger's frontal air bag. In the event of a crash, the passenger's frontal airbag will not deploy and will not be able to properly protect an occupant, increasing the risk of injuries. Dealers will inspect and adjust the routing of the right front passenger seat belt wiring harness. If a damaged wiring harness is found, the harness will be replaced free of charge. The recall is expected to begin on or before April 24, 2009.  09V-097

 Description TIRES:PRESSURE MONITORING AND REGULATING SYSTEMS
 Summary VOLKSWAGEN IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2012, CC VEHICLES, FOR FAILING TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLES SAFETY STANDARD NO. 138, "TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS)."
