Volkswagen plans to recall 2012-2013 Beetle models to fix seat control problems

Volkswagen plans to recall 2471 Beetle 2012 - 2013 models to fix the front passenger seat control modules fault.

If it happens, the airbag will not turn off and will deploy in the time of a collision. Such a situation could significantly increase the risk of serious child injury.
