What Happened
The passenger air bag in your Audi has a special line that helps it deploy properly in a crash. Unfortunately, this line might not have been made correctly in some models.
Risk if Unfixed
If the air bag doesn't deploy correctly, it could fail to protect you in a collision. In the worst case, it could also send sharp plastic pieces into the passenger area, which could cause serious injury.
Free Fix
Your Audi dealer will inspect the air bag and fix it if needed, at no cost to you. They'll check the score line and make any necessary repairs, all for free.
