The short version

Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. reported a problem with the air bags side/window. Here is what owners need to know.

WHAT

The affected vehicles have head curtain air bags that may not deploy properly in the event of a crash. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 226, "Ejection Mitigation."

WHY IT MATTERS

If the head curtain airbag does not deploy properly in the event of a crash, an unbelted passenger has an increased risk of injury.

WHAT TO DO

Audi will notify owners, and dealers will replace the affected head curtain air bags, free of charge.
