2008 Audi TT recall: body & structure
⚠️ What's wrong
Volkswagen is recalling 720 my 2008 audi TT coupe vehicles. These vehicles were produced with c-pillar trim cover clips that do not provide adequate retention. In the event of a deployment of the rear pyrotechnic safety belt, the c-pillar trim cover may become detached from the sheet metal due to low retention force of the trim clip.
💥 The risk
The detached trim cover could pose a risk of personal injury for vehicle front seat occupants.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will install an improved clip on the affected vehicles. The recall began on march 7, 2008. Owners may contact vw/audi at 1-800-822-2834.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
