Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Volkswagen Group of America is recalling certain 2000-2001 Audi TT Coupe and TT Roadster models, as well as 2000-2002 Audi A4 and S4 vehicles. These vehicles have driver-side frontal airbag inflators that may not function properly in a crash due to a manufacturing defect. Specifically, the Non-Azide Driver Air Bag Inflators without phase stabilized ammonium nitrate propellant can absorb moisture, which may cause the airbag to deploy incorrectly if needed.
If an affected airbag deploys during a crash, it may not adequately protect the driver, potentially resulting in serious injury or death. Dealers will replace the faulty driver frontal airbag inflator with an alternative inflator at no cost. Owner notification letters were mailed on November 2, 2021. Owners should contact Audi customer service at 1-800-253-2834, and can reference Volkswagen recall number 69CJ when doing so.
