On my 2004 touraeg, after tilting the front seats back all the way to the horizontal position, the airbag warning light came on. It turned out that the connectors for the side air bags got disconnected since the cables are too short or are not mounted right. I got the connectors reconnected and now no longer move the seats back in order to avoid this from happening again.
