NHTSA recall 97V172000
Air Bags · Volkswagen Group of America, Inc.
Details
What's wrong: Some air bag sensors do not comply with Audi's durability standards over the lifetime of the vehicle.
Why it matters: In the event the sensor should malfunction, the air bag restraint system can inadvertently deploy. Deployment of the air bag restraint system without warning could cause a driver to lose vehicle control.
The fix: Dealers will replace the air bag sensor control module.
