Volkswagen Group of America is recalling approximately 4,117 of its 2022 Audi S3, A3, and RS3 vehicles because the front passenger air bag may have been folded incorrectly during manufacturing. An incorrectly folded air bag can tear when it attempts to inflate, preventing it from protecting the passenger as intended during a collision. Audi dealers will replace the front passenger air bag module free of charge to resolve the safety issue.
The air bag material may tear during deployment because it was not folded properly, which could result in the air bag failing to fully protect the front passenger in a crash, significantly increasing the risk of serious injury.
Dealers will replace the front passenger air bag module free of charge.
