Defect
VinFast Auto, LLC (VinFast) is recalling certain 2022-2024 VF8 vehicles. Inactive ignitors may have been installed in the air bags.
Consequence
Inactive ignitors can prevent the air bags from deploying, increasing the risk of injury during a crash.
Remedy
VinFast will replace the air bags, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed June 21, 2024. Owners may contact VinFast customer service at 1-833-503-0600. VinFast's number for this recall is VPAC-291.
The record is thin — 0 NHTSA complaints — so owner-report data can't strongly confirm reliability either way, though 1 recall should be verified as completed.
