Audi during air bag assembly, the front-passenger occupant protection flap of the air bag may not have been folded correctly.
The short version
Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. reported a problem with the air bags frontal. Here is what owners need to know.
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.
Take it to a dealer — they will replace the front-passenger air bag module, free of charge.
