AIR BAGS Safety Recalls

High Priority #24V251000 Plain English
Component

AIR BAGS:SENSOR:OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION:FRONT PASSENGER

Manufacturer
Volkswagen Group of America, Inc.
What Happened
The front passenger air bag in your vehicle relies on sensors to decide whether to deploy in a crash. The sensor system in certain 2023-2024 Audi models, including yours, might not work properly due to a loose electrical connection.
Risk if Unfixed
If this connection fails, the front passenger air bag won't deploy during a crash. This could leave your passenger unprotected and at risk of serious injury.
Free Fix
Your Audi dealer will replace the faulty sensor system with a new one free of charge. You should schedule the repair as soon as you receive the recall notice, and it's on Audi – you won't pay a thing.
