## What is wrong

Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. \(Audi\) is recalling certain 2022\-2023 S8 and A8 vehicles.  During air bag assembly, the front\-passenger occupant protection flap of the air bag may not have been folded correctly.  As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 208, "Occupant Crash Protection."


## What can happen

In a crash, an incorrectly folded air bag can deploy with too much force, increasing the risk of injury to a child or small person who is seated and unbelted on the front passenger seat and very close to the instrument panel.


## The remedy

Dealers will replace the front\-passenger air bag module, free of charge.  Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed April 14, 2023.  Owners may contact Audi's customer service at 1\-800\-253\-2834.  Audi's number for this recall is 69ET.


## Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1\-888\-327\-4236 \(TTY 1\-800\-424\-9153\), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
