An electrical connection in the front passenger seat for the occupant detection system (ODS) control module may loosen and deactivate the front passenger air bag.
A deactivated front passenger air bag will not deploy during a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
Dealers will replace the passenger seat occupant detection system control module, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on May 8, 2024. Owners may contact Audi customer service at 1-800-253-2834. Volkswagen's number for this recall is 69GU.
Issue: On certain vehicles, the tail lamps do not turn on when the daytime running lamps are on. New Canadian regulations require that, if a vehicle has dash backlighting, the tail lamps must automatically switch on when it is dark or must stay on at all times. Safety Risk: Driving without tail lamps in low light conditions could make the vehicle less visible and increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: Audi will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealership to update the electrical system control unit.
