What this recall means for you
Certain 2020 vehicles have a passenger-side front airbag that may not deploy correctly through the instrument panel tear seam. The airbag may fail to fully inflate, and small plastic pieces could enter the cabin during a crash.
These problems raise the risk of injury to the front passenger in a collision, because the airbag may not protect them as designed and loose plastic fragments could strike occupants.
Owners will be notified by mail. Authorized dealers will replace the instrument panel at no cost. You can contact Audi customer service at 1-800-822-2834, and you can check your vehicle identification number (VIN) for open recalls.
