A used OEM Volkswagen seat release handle / cable, part number 561885681, originally from a Passat. This left rear release handle also replaces numbers 561885681B, 561885681C, 561885681A, and 561885681D. When the cable stretches or the handle breaks, the rear seatback cannot be folded down from the side. This genuine part restores that one-touch release function for accessing the trunk or carrying long cargo.
