What This Recall Means

Component

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:PASSENGER SIDE:INFLATOR MODULE

What Happened
The passenger air bag module in your Audi A5 or A4 is the part that deploys to protect you in a front-end crash. On some 2017-2018 models, the screw that holds this module in place might not have been tightened properly.
Risk if Unfixed
If the air bag doesn't deploy correctly in a crash, it could fail to cushion the impact, increasing the risk of serious injury to you or your passenger.

How to Get This Fixed

Free Fix
Your Audi dealership will check the air bag mounting screw, tighten it if necessary, and replace it if not – all at no cost to you. You'll receive a recall notice, and you should schedule the inspection and repair as soon as possible.
