Volkswagen Group of America is recalling approximately 1,047 Audi A8 and S8 vehicles from the 2022-2023 model years. During assembly, the front-passenger occupant protection flap on the air bag may have been folded incorrectly, meaning the vehicles do not meet federal safety standards. Dealers will replace the front-passenger air bag module entirely free of charge to ensure it functions as intended.
In the event of a crash, an incorrectly folded air bag can deploy with excessive force. This significantly increases the risk of injury to a child or small adult who is seated close to the dashboard, especially if they are unbelted.
Free replacement of the front-passenger air bag module.
