Volkswagen Group of America is recalling certain 1998-2001 Audi and Volkswagen TT vehicles equipped with specific driver-side air bag inflators. Due to a manufacturing defect, these Non-Azide Driver air bag Inflators may absorb moisture, which could cause the air bag to deploy improperly during a crash and fail to properly protect the driver, potentially resulting in serious injury or death.
According to the recall notice, dealers will replace the affected driver frontal air bag inflator with an alternative inflator at no charge once parts become available. Owners of affected vehicles received notification letters on September 21, 2021.
