The suction jet pump in your vehicle is a small part inside the fuel tank that helps control how fuel is used. In some 2015-2020 models, the seal inside this pump can wear out, letting fuel leak into the emissions system.
Risk if Unfixed
If the fuel leaks, it could ignite and cause a fire, especially when you're driving or parked in a hot environment.
Free Fix
Your dealer will replace the faulty suction pump for free, and you should schedule the repair as soon as you get the recall notice.

The tire pressure monitoring system in your vehicle is a network of sensors that checks the air pressure in your tires. In some 2019-2021 models, this system might not detect a sudden loss of air pressure in all four tires quickly enough.
Risk if Unfixed
If your tires lose air pressure all at once while you're driving, you might not get a warning in time. This could lead to a loss of control and increase the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Your Volkswagen or Audi dealer will update the software for your tire pressure monitoring system, which is free of charge. You should schedule the repair as soon as you get the recall notice, and you can contact the dealership or the customer service numbers listed for more information.

What Happened
The passenger air bag sensor in your vehicle is a critical safety system that helps determine whether the passenger air bag should deploy in a crash. Unfortunately, in certain 2015-2020 Audi models, this sensor can malfunction and turn off the air bag, even when a passenger is sitting there.
Risk if Unfixed
If the air bag is deactivated, you're at a higher risk of injury in the event of a crash. This is because the air bag helps cushion the impact, reducing the force of the crash on your passenger's head and body.
Free Fix
Your Audi dealer will replace the faulty sensor mat and update the control module, ensuring your passenger air bag works properly to keep you and your passengers safe. This repair is completely free, and you should schedule it as soon as you receive your recall notice.
