SEAT BELTS:PRETENSIONER
What Happened
The seat belt pretensioner in your vehicle is a critical safety device that tightens the seat belt in the event of a crash. In some affected 2016-2018 Audi and Volkswagen models, this pretensioner might not activate when it should.
Risk if Unfixed
If the pretensioner fails to work properly in a crash, you're at a higher risk of serious injury. The airbags might not deploy fully, leaving you without the protection you need to stay safe.
Free Fix
Your Audi or Volkswagen dealer will replace the faulty pretensioner and any affected airbags for free. This is a free repair, and you should have it done as soon as possible to ensure your safety on the road.
