Audi A8, S8: Airbag

Affects Audi A8, S8 · 2022–2023 — about 78 vehicles.

The hazard

Issue: On certain vehicles, the occupant protection flap within the passenger-front airbag module may not have been folded properly. As a result, the airbag could inflate with too much force. If a child or smaller person is seated in the front passenger seat close to the instrument panel, they could be injured when the airbag inflates in a crash. Safety Risk: An airbag that inflates with too much force could create an increased risk of injury in a crash. Corrective Actions: Audi will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealership to replace the passenger-front airbag module.
