Takata Airbag Recall

Hi folks,

I was watching a pretty hard hitting documentary about the Takata Airbag scandal and when it mentioned this was a worldwide issue and not just confined to the US, of course I did a quick google.

Sure enough there’s a VWUK page dedicated to the recall of UK vehicles (both commercial and passenger) and when I put in the VIN of my 2011 T5.1 Caravelle Exec it said

“This vehicle must be checked by the Volkswagen Van Centre.

As an owner or holder of this vehicle, please contact a Volkswagen Van Centre as soon as possible.”

So I called my local and they’ve booked it in for a recall repair under warranty at their next available slot.
The lady on the phone then said “oh, it’s actually due two recalls… oh no, it’s ok, one’s been done”.
But, when she gave me the recall code “23DV” that mine is now booked in under, a quick google seems to suggest that’s to do with EGR coolers and ECU software, nowt to do with airbags…?

Can anyone shed any light on the 23DV code, and has anyone had theirs in for the Takata airbag recall?

Cheers.

23DV is a software upgrade for the EGR valve. From what I’ve found it can have a negative effect on fuel consumption

Yeah that’s exactly what I thought. Very odd. I’ll have to ring them again today to make sure that’s *not* what they do!
