What is the AIR BAGS:SENSOR:OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION recall for the 2019 AUDI RS 3? (Campaign #19V474000)

The Passenger Occupant Detection System in your vehicle uses sensors to decide if the passenger air bag should deploy in case of an accident. But in some 2015-2019 Audi models, a faulty electrical connection could cause this system to think it's not working properly and shut off the air bag. If the passenger air bag is disabled, it won't deploy in a crash, which means you or your passenger could be at risk of serious injury. Your Audi dealer will fix the issue by replacing the faulty connector and rerouting the cable – all at no cost to you. You should schedule this repair as soon as you get the recall notice.
