Due to a supplier mistake, Audi has requested a recall for a limited number of cars in the United States that may not have been manufactured to the correct specifications. The score line for the passenger airbag, which is the area in which the airbag opens in the event of a collision, is broken on these cars. Such a fault may cause the airbag to deploy and inflate incorrectly, as well as turn some plastic parts into projectiles, raising the risk of injury in the event of an accident. A total of 3,388 Audis will need to be returned to the dealership for repairs. The 2021 RS6 Avant and RS7 Sportback, as well as the 2020-2021 S6 Sedan, S7 Sportback, and A6 Allroad, and the 2019-2021 A6 Sedan and A7 Sportback, are among them. Both of them will be thoroughly tested by approved technicians from the manufacturer, and if necessary, the passenger airbag score-line will be reworked, removing the threat. The vehicles will be repaired free of charge, as is customary, and since this is a rare defect that is not protected by the manufacturer warranty, owners will not be reimbursed for any future repairs. On or before May 7, dealers and owners will be officially informed of the issue, and the safety recall will begin. The Audi recall number is 70i2, and you can reach them at 1-800-253-2834, while the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) can be reached at 1-888-327-4236.
