Safety Recalls & Notices
Requires attention
Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. (Audi) is recalling certain 2022-2023 S8 and A8 vehicles. During air bag assembly, the front-passenger occupant protection flap of the air bag may not have been folded correctly. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 208, "Occupant Crash Protection."
In a crash, an incorrectly folded air bag can deploy with too much force, increasing the risk of injury to a child or small person who is seated and unbelted on the front passenger seat and very close to the instrument panel.
Dealers will replace the front-passenger air bag module, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed April 14, 2023. Owners may contact Audi's customer service at 1-800-253-2834. Audi's number for this recall is 69ET.
Issue: On certain vehicles, the occupant protection flap within the passenger-front airbag module may not have been folded properly. As a result, the airbag could inflate with too much force. If a child or smaller person is seated in the front passenger seat close to the instrument panel, they could be injured when the airbag inflates in a crash. Safety Risk: An airbag that inflates with too much force could create an increased risk of injury in a crash. Corrective Actions: Audi will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealership to replace the passenger-front airbag module.
