2004–2005 Audi A8 recall: airbag
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain passenger vehicles, during production of the driver's frontal air bag, the air bag may not unfold properly in the event of a crash and therefore may not inflate as designed.
💥 The risk
Loss of frontal air bag deployment could occur which CAN increase the risk of injury in a frontal crash.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will install a new driver's frontal air bag free of charge. The recall began on october 6, 2006. Owners may contact audi at 1-800-822-2834.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
