problem #1

Sep 172006

Eurovan 5-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 76,000 miles
My kid pulled on his seat belt to fasten it, and the male latch came detached from the belt. The latch is made by TRW-automotive, the world's largest provider of seat belt systems. It has the following identification: 0006 5980 TRW. The seat belt that failed is a lap-belt only (center-seat). The latch consists of two sliding metal parts and a plastic cover. When the plastic cover breaks, the belt comes loose from the male latch. The seat belt can fail in a crash resulting in injury from the crash. I reported this to VW customer care, 800-822-8987. They entered it into their database, and told me to go to a VW dealer to get a repair.
