Volkswagen has recalled
no fewer than 420,000 cars in the United States to fix a fault that could
prevent air bags from deploying, the firm said on Friday.
The world's biggest carmaker said that the
recall affected its Golf, Passat, Jetta and Tiguan models assembled between
2010 and 2014.
The recall comes as the German group struggles
to overcome underperformance in the world's second-largest auto market, where
the sale of VW-branded cars has plunged.
A spokesman, who preferred anonymity, said
that debris could, under certain circumstances, interfere with the clock spring
that kept the vehicles' air bags powered.
He, however, added that no such incident had
been reported.
The source added that the company was also
examining whether such issues affected cars delivered to other markets.
