What Happened
The air bag inflator in your Audi is a critical safety component that inflates the passenger air bag in the event of a crash. In some 2004-2011 A4 and A6 models, this inflator can rupture and fail to deploy properly, especially in areas with high humidity.
Risk if Unfixed
If the inflator ruptures in a crash, sharp metal fragments could fly towards you, causing serious injury or even death.
Free Fix
Your Audi dealer will replace the faulty air bag inflator with a new one, free of charge. You should schedule this repair as soon as possible, especially if you live in one of the affected regions. The repair is a critical safety update, and it's free to you.
