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.","mfr_campaign":"74E3","units":35107,"do_not_drive":null,"park_outside":null,"notification":"Safety Mfr","match":"exact","models":["S5"],"built_from":null,"built_to":null,"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/recalls/tc/2021688"},{"source":"nhtsa","country":"us","campaign":"21V874000","date":"2021-11-10","manufacturer":"Volkswagen Group of America, Inc.","component":"AIR BAGS:SENSOR:OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION:FRONT PASSENGER; SEATS","summary":"Volkswagen Group of America, Inc.
