Volkswagen recalls new Polo hatchback

The car manufacturer explained that in rare situations the left seatbelt lock could be unintentionally released when the rear centre seat and the rear left seat are occupied at the same time.

Volkswagen stated that its Polo is homologated and safe to drive, but advises its drivers not to use the middle seat of the new Polo until the car is equipped with the redesigned belt lock fixture.

The new Polo is cool, confident, and classy
