• Recall 2018342 [Canada]: Airbag
  On certain vehicles, long-term exposure to high absolute humidity and temperature, combined with high temperature cycling, could eventually degrade the propellant contained in the passenger frontal airbag. This could cause the airbag to deploy with more force than normal. As a result, if the vehicle were involved in a collision that warrants airbag deployment, fragments could be propelled toward vehicle occupants, and the airbag assembly could be damaged, preventing proper function. These issues could increase the risk of injury. Correction: dealers will replace the passenger frontal airbag inflator. Note: canadian climate results in the propellant degrading slowly. The recall is being conducted as a precaution to address future risk, and is expected to replace airbag inflators before their function would be affected. Additional note: this recall supersedes recalls 2016-266 (audi recall 69o2), 2017-026 (audi recall 69p6) and 2018-022 (audi recall 69u1). Vehicles completed under the previous recalls require repair under this recall, as the previous recall remedy was an interim repair. Interim repair parts must be replaced with final repair parts. Additional note: for the 2009 model year a4 and s4 models, only the cabriolet versions are involved in this campaign.

• Recall 2016065 [Canada]: Airbag
  On certain vehicles, the driver frontal airbag inflator could produce excessive internal pressure during airbag deployment. Increased pressure may cause the inflator to rupture, which could allow fragments to be propelled toward vehicle occupants, increasing the risk of injury. This could also damage the airbag module, which could prevent proper deployment. Failure of the airbag to fully deploy during a crash (where deployment is warranted) could increase the risk of personal injury to the seat occupant. Correction: dealers will replace the front driver airbag inflator. Note: this only affects the cabriolet versions of the audi a4 and s4 models.

To ensure accuracy and for your safety, it is recommended to do a free VIN recall check here or here [USA] - UK - Canada.

Bulletins are notices put out by manufacturers in conjunction with the NHTSA to notify the public of manufacturing issues or changes.

Takata recall. Have received latest notice (nhsta 17v032) indicating that my vehicle needs interim remedy as soon as possible. Have called dealership (audi burlington ma) 3-4 times to have repair scheduled over last 2 months. Was on the repair schedule for today at 10:15 am but they cancelled saying part was not available (have email). According to notice parts are available. Dealer refuses to give me a order number for the part for my vehicle (claiming they are ordered in bulk not by vin), refuses to give me an estimate to when part will be in. My vehicle is approaching 10 years old, i believe due to being in ma in group 5. Dealership claims they will call me when part is available but will give no time estimate, claims i am on a "short list" for the repair. I am left in a situation where i can't use my passenger seat due to safety concerns for the last year and now have no idea when this will be addressed.

Takata airbag recall. It has been an exceptionally long time since first notified of this recall and audi still does not have a recall fix.

Tl* takata recall. The contact owns a 2008 audi s4. The contact received notification of nhtsa campaign numbers: 16v382000 (air bags) and 16v079000 (air bags). The parts to do the recall repair were unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repairs. The manufacturer was aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. Vin tool confirms parts not available.

My vehicle has intermittent problems with the power steering failure. The steering wheel goes from practically frozen to being loose without warning. This can cause driving off the road, into traffic, crash, etc. Dealership, delta audi, grand rapids, mi, cannot replicate and refuse to drive similar to the conditions it fails, for lack of staff and resources. Audi of america and "state representative" and "end of the line" decision maker ryan conlin (248) 754-3426, states he will offer no further resolve. He refuses to put in writing efforts made to resolve, to date. He states that i may not speak with, nor have contact information for his supervisor kelly roland. I am told that my vehicle is operational. Unpredicatable ability to steer a vehicle is a clear safety issue. Audi refuses to appropriately address. *tr
