Vehicles Affected: Approximately 21,000 model-year 2012-13 Audi A6 sedans manufactured March 28, 2011, to March 25, 2013, and model-year 2012-13 A7 hatchbacks manufactured Jan. 25, 2011, to March 19, 2013.

The Problem: In vehicles with heated and cooled seats, the system that enables the front passenger airbags may malfunction, preventing them from deploying in a crash. This increases the risk of injury in a crash.

The Fix: Dealers will inspect and replace the affected parts for free.

What Owners Should Do: Parent-company Volkswagen will begin notifying owners in February. Owners can call Audi at 800-253-2834 or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 888-327-4236 for more information.
