FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM:FUEL RAIL

Manufacturer

What Happened
The fuel rails in your Audi are the tubes that supply gasoline to your engine. In some 2015-2018 A8, and 2016-2018 Q7, A6, and A7 models, these rails could develop tiny holes and start leaking fuel.
Risk if Unfixed
If fuel leaks out and there's a spark nearby, your vehicle could catch fire, putting you and others at risk.
Free Fix
Your Audi dealer will replace the faulty fuel rails with new ones, at no cost to you. You should schedule the repair as soon as you get the recall notice.

AIR BAGS:SENSOR:OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION

Manufacturer

Risk if Unfixed
If the airbag system fails, the front passenger airbag might not deploy in a crash, putting you or your passenger at risk of serious injury.
