This could cause the airbag system to turn off the passenger-front airbag even when a person is seated in the front passenger seat.\nNote: This problem would cause an error message to display on the instrument panel and a warning chime to sound. The airbag indicator light would also display \"passenger airbag off\".\n\nSafety Risk:\nAn airbag that is turned off when it should be turned on could increase the risk of injury to a passenger in a crash.\n\nCorrective Actions:\nAudi will notify owners by mail. The corrective actions for this recall are under development. To reduce the safety risk, Audi recommends that if the PODS in your vehicle is not working properly, you should contact an Audi dealer for assistance right away and not transport a person in the front-passenger seat until the PODS has been repaired.","consequence":null,"remedy":null,"notes":null,"mfr_campaign":"69BY","part_number":null,"units":18204,"completion":null,"do_not_drive":null,"park_outside":null,"notification":"Safety Mfr","french":{"component":"Coussin gonflable","notification":"Sécurité - fabricant","summary":"Problème :\nSur certains véhicules, le système de détection d'occupant du côté passager (PODS) pourrait ne pas fonctionner correctement. Par conséquent, le système de coussin gonflable pourrait désactiver le coussin gonflable du passager avant même si une personne est assise sur le siège du passager avant.\nRemarque : Ce problème causerait l'affichage d'un message d'erreur sur le tableau de bord, ainsi que le déclenchement d'un avertissement sonore. De plus, le voyant de coussin gonflable afficherait le message « passenger airbag off » (coussin gonflable du passager désactivé).\n\nRisques pour la sécurité :\nUn coussin gonflable qui est désactivé alors qu'il devrait être activé pourrait augmenter les risques de blessures pour un passager en cas d'accident.\n\nMesures correctives :\nAudi doit aviser les propriétaires par la poste. Les mesures correctives pour ce rappel sont en cours d'élaboration. Pour réduire le risque, Audi recommande, si le PODS dans votre véhicule ne fonctionne pas correctement, de contacter immédiatement un concessionnaire Audi pour obtenir de l'aide et de ne pas transporter une personne sur le siège du passager avant jusqu'à ce que le PODS ait été réparé."},"vehicles":[{"year":2016,"make":"AUDI","model":"A3","vehicle_id":"2016_audi_a3","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":2017,"make":"AUDI","model":"A3","vehicle_id":"2017_audi_a3","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":2018,"make":"AUDI","model":"A3","vehicle_id":"2018_audi_a3","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":2019,"make":"AUDI","model":"A3","vehicle_id":"2019_audi_a3","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":2020,"make":"AUDI","model":"A3","vehicle_id":"2020_audi_a3","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":2016,"make":"AUDI","model":"A3 E-TRON","vehicle_id":null,"match":null,"built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":2017,"make":"AUDI","model":"A3 E-TRON","vehicle_id":null,"match":null,"built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":2018,"make":"AUDI","model":"A3 E-TRON","vehicle_id":null,"match":null,"built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":2018,"make":"AUDI","model":"RS 3","vehicle_id":"2018_audi_rs-3","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":2019,"make":"AUDI","model":"RS 3","vehicle_id":"2019_audi_rs-3","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":2020,"make":"AUDI","model":"RS 3","vehicle_id":"2020_audi_rs-3","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":2016,"make":"AUDI","model":"S3","vehicle_id":"2016_audi_s3","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":2017,"make":"AUDI","model":"S3","vehicle_id":"2017_audi_s3","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":2018,"make":"AUDI","model":"S3","vehicle_id":"2018_audi_s3","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":2019,"make":"AUDI","model":"S3","vehicle_id":"2019_audi_s3","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":2020,"make":"AUDI","model":"S3","vehicle_id":"2020_audi_s3","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null}],"may_apply":true,"as_of":"2026-10-19","lookup":{"nhtsa":"https://www.nhtsa.gov/recalls","tc":"https://wwwapps.tc.gc.ca/Saf-Sec-Sur/7/VRDB-BDRV/search-recherche/menu.aspx?lang=eng","maker":null},"attribution":["Contains information licensed under the Open Government Licence – Canada."],"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/recalls/tc/2021169"}
