What's wrong: Volkswagen group of america, Inc. (Volkswagen) is recalling certain 2021 Audi E-tron Quattro and E-tron Sportback Quattro vehicles. The right hinge pin for the glove box cover may not be properly secured, allowing the glove box lid trim to interfere with the knee air bag during deployment.
Why it matters: An air bag that does not deploy properly can increase the risk of injury in a crash.
The fix: Dealers will inspect the glove box, and secure the hinge pin as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed August 27, 2021.
