Audi recalls nearly 190,000 older A3s and A4s for airbags

13/08/2024

Audi is recalling 187,586 A3 and A4 vehicles manufactured between 2004 and 2013 to authorised workshops worldwide. The reason for the recall is that a fault in the gas generator of the driver’s airbag can lead to uncontrolled deployment and the release of metal fragments that can injure the occupants when the airbag is deployed.

In an authorised workshop, the gas generator on the driver’s airbag is replaced.

The Kraftfahrt-Bundesamt (KBA) monitors the recall under the reference number “14004R“. The internal manufacturer code is “69RR“.
