The defect
Affected vehicles may be fitted with a Takata NADI 5-AT driver airbag inflator that could allow moisture to enter the unit and degrade the airbag propellant. If this occurs, the properties of the propellant may be changed so that the propellant does not react as intended during a collision, causing mis-deployment of the airbag.
The hazard
If an affected vehicle is involved in a collision there is a risk that the airbag may underinflate and may not protect the driver as intended.

Owners of affected vehicles should immediately contact an authorised Audi Dealer by visiting https://forms.audi.com.au/locate-a-dealer or call Audi Takata Information Line directly on 1800 856 770 to organise their free urgent vehicle inspection.Owners who are unsure of whether their vehicle is affected by this recall can also use the VIN look-up tool available on the Audi website https://forms.audi.com.au/takata-recall, contact the Audi Takata Information Line on 1800 856 770 or contact their preferred Audi dealer.If the vehicle is affected, it will replace the airbag inflator free of charge.Dealer locations and contact details can be found at https://forms.audi.com.au/locate-a-dealer
