This could cause the airbag system to turn off the passenger-front airbag even when a passenger is seated. Note: 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\".\nAdditional note: For the 2020 model year A5 model, only the A5 Sportback is affected by this recall.\n\nSafety Risk:\nAn airbag that is turned off could increase the risk of injury to a passenger in a crash.\n\nCorrective Actions:\nAudi will notify owners by mail and instruct them to take their vehicle to a dealer to inspect the front passenger seat. Depending on the seat type, the dealer will either replace the seat heating mat including the connecting cable or the entire seat cover.","consequence":null,"remedy":null,"notes":null,"mfr_campaign":"74E3","part_number":null,"units":35107,"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 véhicule du côté passager avant (PODS) pourrait ne pas fonctionner correctement, ce qui pourrait désactiver le système de coussins gonflables du passager avant, même lorsque le siège est occupé. Remarque : Ce problème entraînerait l'affichage d'un message d'erreur sur le tableau de bord et le déclenchement d'un carillon. Le voyant du coussin gonflable indiquerait également le message « passenger airbag off » (coussin gonflable côté passager désactivé).\nAutre remarque : Pour les modèles A5 de l'année 2020, seulement le modèle A5 Sportback est touché par ce rappel.\n\nRisques pour la sécurité :\nUn coussin gonflable désactivé pourrait augmenter les risques de blessures pour le passager en cas d'accident.\n\nMesures correctives :\nAudi doit aviser les propriétaires par la poste et leur demander d'amener leur véhicule chez un concessionnaire pour faire inspecter le siège du passager avant. Selon le type du siège, le concessionnaire doit remplacer soit le tapis chauffant de siège, y compris le câble de raccordement, soit la housse de siège complète."},"vehicles":[{"year":2017,"make":"AUDI","model":"A4","vehicle_id":"2017_audi_a4","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":2018,"make":"AUDI","model":"A4","vehicle_id":"2018_audi_a4","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":2019,"make":"AUDI","model":"A4","vehicle_id":"2019_audi_a4","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":2020,"make":"AUDI","model":"A4","vehicle_id":"2020_audi_a4","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":2018,"make":"AUDI","model":"A5","vehicle_id":"2018_audi_a5","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":2019,"make":"AUDI","model":"A5","vehicle_id":"2019_audi_a5","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":2020,"make":"AUDI","model":"A5","vehicle_id":"2020_audi_a5","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":2018,"make":"AUDI","model":"RS 5","vehicle_id":"2018_audi_rs-5","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":2019,"make":"AUDI","model":"RS 5","vehicle_id":"2019_audi_rs-5","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":2018,"make":"AUDI","model":"S4","vehicle_id":"2018_audi_s4","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":2019,"make":"AUDI","model":"S4","vehicle_id":"2019_audi_s4","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":2018,"make":"AUDI","model":"S5","vehicle_id":"2018_audi_s5","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":2019,"make":"AUDI","model":"S5","vehicle_id":"2019_audi_s5","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":2020,"make":"AUDI","model":"S5","vehicle_id":"2020_audi_s5","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/2021688"}
