In mid-March 2026, the airbag error light came on in my vehicle. I took the car into the dealership I leased it from for service. They were ale to replicate the issue and discovered "a fault for passenger seat belt tensioner igniter". After this discovery it was recommended that no one sit in the passenger seat until the igniter was replaced. The dealership claimed they ordered a replacement part that has been on backorder since March, so my vehicle has not been fixed still. In my research, I've seen 3,000+ 2025 Tiguans were called for an airbag error issue, but somehow my VIN is not showing up as part of the recall even though it is having a similar airbag issue.

Hello, I have a vw Tiguan 2025 lease since june2025. I just received a safety recall letter from vw on February 2026 advising that because of a potential airbag defect I should not have anyone seating in the passenger seat of my car until further notice. A recall repair is not yet available. How can vw asks to keep a car with such inconvenience of not being able to have a passenger?.
