What's wrong?
The air bags in the 2022-2024 Vinfast Vf 8 use small ignitors to start deployment in a crash. When a sensor calls for an air bag, the active ignitor begins the inflator reaction, fills the bag, and helps cushion the person seated near it. That system only works when the air bag has a production active ignitor.
On affected Vf 8 vehicles, one or more air bags were built with inert ignitors instead. Inert ignitors are used on pre-production vehicles during development testing, not on customer vehicles. In a crash where that air bag is designed to deploy, the inert ignitor will not start inflation, so the air bag will not deploy.
The warning sign is an airbag warning light that illuminates and stays on. If that light remains active, tell the Vinfast dealer that recall 24V369 involves air bags equipped with inert ignitors.
Who's affected?
The scope spans three model years of the Vf 8, with the air bag system listed for each year.

A matching year and model does not confirm inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific SUV is included.
What's the safety risk?
Inactive ignitors can keep the air bags from deploying in a crash, which increases the risk of injury. The airbag warning light will illuminate and stay on, so treat that warning as a reason to schedule service soon and ask the dealer about driving guidance. Repair is free at any franchised Vinfast dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2022-2024 Vinfast Vf 8 is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Vinfast dealer to schedule the free repair.
- Schedule the air bag replacement that fixes inactive ignitors so the air bags deploy as designed.
- Bring the recall notice if Vinfast mailed one. Reference recall number 24V369 and Vinfast recall VPAC-291 when you call.
- Avoid delaying the repair after your VIN is confirmed; inactive ignitors can prevent air bags from deploying during a crash.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Vinfast technician replaces the affected air bags so the ignitors are active and ready to deploy as designed. Parts and labor are covered, and the recall repair is free now. Out-of-pocket repairs already paid are handled through Vinfast's original warranty program, not through a separate reimbursement path, because the vehicles were covered by the original warranty during the reimbursement period. Ask the service desk how warranty coverage applies if you have prior repair paperwork.
