AIR BAGS:FRONTAL

Manufacturer

Risk if Unfixed
If you're in a frontal crash and the passenger side air bag doesn't deploy, you're at greater risk of injury to the person sitting in the passenger seat.
Free Fix
Your Audi dealer will update the air bag control module's software for free, so schedule an appointment as soon as possible to ensure your safety on the road.
