Recall Alert: 2013-2015 Audi A4, S4
Vehicles Affected: Nearly 102,000 model-year 2013-15 Audi A4 and S4 sedans
The Problem: The front-impact airbags may not deploy as designed in a crash due to improper algorithm/coding within the airbag control module, according to The Detroit News. Front-seat occupants may not have the intended protection from the frontal airbag system in a secondary impact, putting them at risk for an injury, the newspaper reported. The automaker discovered the problem during routine quality-assurance testing, and no accidents or injuries have been reported; the issue is not related to the massive ongoing Takata airbag recall.
The Fix: Audi will notify owners, and dealers will reprogram the airbag software for free. The automaker has not yet announced a notification schedule.
What Owners Should Do: Owners can call Audi at 800-253-2834 for more info.
