WASHINGTON — The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said Friday it is opening an investigation into potential air bag failure in 415,000 Volkswagen vehicles after the company issued a recall for the same issue in 2015.
The agency said it had 90 complaints of problems after the recall was announced including some reports of problems after owners had repairs completed.
NHTSA said a component of the airbag could become contaminated and cause the airbag not to deploy in a crash.
