What Happened
The Passenger Occupant Detection System (PODS) is a critical part that helps your passenger air bag deploy in a crash. In some 2017-2019 Audi models, the cable that connects this system can break down, causing the air bag to think there's a problem and shut off.
Risk if Unfixed
If the passenger air bag is disabled, you're at a higher risk of injury if you're a passenger in a crash. In a severe collision, you could get hurt more seriously because the air bag won't deploy to help protect you.
Free Fix
Your Audi dealer will fix this by securing the connecting cable with special ties – and it won't cost you a thing. Just schedule the repair as soon as you get the recall notice.
