What Happened
The passenger air bag in your vehicle is a safety feature that deploys in the event of a crash. In some 2020-2021 Audi models, the air bag may not be properly manufactured, which could put you at risk in a collision.
Risk if Unfixed
If the air bag doesn't deploy correctly, you could be injured more severely in a crash. In the worst case, the air bag could even break apart and send sharp plastic fragments into the passenger compartment, putting you at risk of further injury.
Free Fix
Your Audi dealer will inspect and repair your passenger air bag for free, ensuring it deploys properly in case of an emergency. This repair is on the house, and you should schedule it as soon as you receive the recall notice.
