Takata Airbag Safety Recall

The Australian Government requires a MANDATORY RECALL of certain vehicles with frontal Takata airbag inflators to be carried out by 31 December 2020. This will entail a staged recall of affected Audi vehicles over the next three years. 

Owners can be assured that no Audi vehicle is fitted with an airbag from the alpha population. 

For vehicles fitted with a frontal Takata airbag which are less than 6 years old, the Australian Government has stated that there is <b>NO IMMEDIATE KNOWN RISK WITH THE AIRBAG, BUT THERE WILL BE IN THE FUTURE. </b>

For vehicles fitted with a frontal Takata airbag more than 6 years old, the Australian Government has stated that there is a <b>RISK OF INJURY OR DEATH</b> in the event of rupture of the airbag inflator.

Note: Vehicles not currently under active recall may later be recalled. All planned future recalls are set out in the Recall Initiation Schedule (a link to which is below). Please note that, while Audi will seek to contact affected consumers directly at the relevant time, we may be unable to contact you if your accurate contact details are not available to us.
