Air bags: frontal

NHTSA campaign 06V454000 · reported November 30, 2006 · VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA, INC · 5,902 vehicles potentially affected

The problem: On certain vehicles where a weak battery exists, it is possible that a low voltage condition could cause the air bag control unit to improperly set a fault code. If this occurs, the passenger side frontal air bag will become deactivated. However, both the air bag warning light in the instrument cluster as well as the 'passenger air bag off' telltale in the center of the instrument panel will illuminate and provide visual warning to the driver.
The risk: If the case of a frontal crash, the passenger side front air bag would not deploy which could cause injury to the seat occupant.
The fix: Dealers will update the air bag control module software. The recall began on december 5, 2006. Owners may contact audi at 1-800-822-2834.
