AIR BAGS:FRONTAL

Manufacturer
Volkswagen Group of America, Inc.
What Happened
The front air bag in your Audi S8 or A8 is a safety device that protects you in a crash. It's possible that the air bag wasn't assembled correctly, which could cause it to deploy with too much force.
Risk if Unfixed
If this happens in a crash, the air bag could hit a child or small person sitting close to the instrument panel very hard, which could lead to serious injury.
Free Fix
Your Audi dealer will replace the faulty air bag module with a new one, completely free of charge. You'll receive a recall notice with instructions on how to schedule the repair.

EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL:INFOTAINMENT:VIDEO (TOUCH)SCREEN/MONITOR/UNIT

Manufacturer
Volkswagen Group of America, Inc.
What Happened
The infotainment screen in your vehicle is the brain of your car's entertainment system. In certain 2021-2022 Audi models, this brain can get damaged when you turn off the engine, causing your rearview camera display to stop working the next time you start the car.
Risk if Unfixed
If your rearview camera display is out of commission, you'll lose a critical view of the area behind your vehicle, making it harder to back up safely and increasing the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Your Audi dealer will swap out the infotainment brain with a new one at no cost to you. Schedule the repair as soon as you get the recall notice, and it will be done for free.

BACK OVER PREVENTION: SENSING SYSTEM: CAMERA

Manufacturer
Volkswagen Group of America, Inc.
What Happened
The camera system in your vehicle is designed to give you a clear view of what's behind your car when you're reversing. However, in certain 2019-2026 models, the camera image might not appear as it should.
Risk if Unfixed
If the rearview camera image doesn't show up, you'll have reduced visibility of what's behind your vehicle, making it harder to spot kids, pets, or other obstacles. This could increase the risk of a crash when reversing.
Free Fix
Your Audi dealer will update the camera system's software for free, so you should schedule the repair as soon as you receive the recall notice.
