The problem
On certain passenger vehicles, during production of the driver's frontal air bag, the air bag may not unfold properly in the event of a crash and therefore may not inflate as designed.
The risk
Loss of frontal air bag deployment could occur which can increase the risk of injury in a frontal crash.
The fix
Dealers will install a new driver's frontal air bag free of charge. The recall began on october 6, 2006. Owners may contact audi at 1-800-822-2834.
