Volkswagen to recall over 114,000 US vehicles over airbag concern

NEW YORK, Nov 07 (Reuters): Volkswagen will recall 114,478 vehicles in the United States on concerns over the driver-side airbag, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said on Thursday.

The recall consists of some Beetle and Passat vehicles from model years 2006-2019.

"The driver's side frontal airbag inflator may explode due to propellant degradation occurring after long-term exposure to high absolute humidity, high temperatures and high temperature cycling," the US auto safety regulator said.

Volkswagen did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.
