What Happened
The air bag control module in your Audi Q7 is a complex computer that controls the deployment of your vehicle's air bags. In some 2017 models, the software in this module can malfunction, causing the air bags to deploy with more force than needed.
Risk if Unfixed
If this happens, the air bags could hit you harder than they should, which could lead to more serious injuries.
Free Fix
Your Audi dealer will update the air bag control module's software for free, so the air bags will deploy safely and correctly. You should schedule this update as soon as you receive the recall notice.
