Audi due to a manufacturing issue, the nadi inflators may absorb moisture, possibly causing the air bag to deploy improperly in the event of a crash.
The short version
Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. reported a problem with the driver side inflator module. Here is what owners need to know.
Due to a manufacturing issue, the NADI inflators may absorb moisture, possibly causing the air bag to deploy improperly in the event of a crash.
In the event of a crash necessitating air bag deployment, the air bag may not properly protect the occupant, increasing the risk of serious injury or death.
Take it to a dealer — they will replace the driver frontal air bag inflator with an alternative inflator when the parts become available, free of charge.
