What This Recall Means

Component

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:DRIVER SIDE:INFLATOR MODULE

What Happened
The air bag in your car's front seat is a lifesaving device that deploys in a crash to protect you. In some 1998-2001 Audi and 1999-2001 VW models, the air bag's inflator may not work properly because of a manufacturing issue.
Risk if Unfixed
If you're in a crash and the air bag doesn't deploy correctly, it could fail to protect you, leading to serious injury or even death.

How to Get This Fixed

Free Fix
Your Audi or VW dealer will replace the faulty air bag inflator with a safer one at no cost to you. Just wait for the recall notice and schedule the repair when parts become available.

Is YOUR vehicle affected?

This page lists the models and model years named in NHTSA campaign #20V056000.
