What happened

To remedy this issue, Audi will notify owners and dealers will update the air bag control module at no cost to the owner. The recall began on March 5, 2021. Affected consumers should contact Audi customer service at 1-800-253-2834 to schedule an appointment, and can reference recall number 69BV.
