What Happened
Your vehicle has a driver air bag inflator that may not work properly due to a manufacturing issue. It's not safe because it doesn't contain a key component that helps it deploy correctly in a crash.
Risk if Unfixed
If you're in a crash and the air bag deploys, it may not protect you as well as it should, which could lead to serious injury or even death.
Free Fix
Audi dealers will replace the driver air bag inflator with a new one at no cost to you. They've already sent out letters to affected owners, but you can also contact them at 1-800-253-2834 or reference recall number 69CJ.
