The 2007 Audi A4 Cabriolet has 3 recalls, all involving frontal airbag inflators that can rupture or explode during deployment and send metal fragments into the cabin, posing a serious risk of injury or death to occupants.
Both the driver and front passenger airbag inflators are affected. On the driver's side, the inflator can build excessive internal pressure during deployment and burst apart, throwing metal fragments toward the driver and anyone else in the vehicle. The passenger-side inflator carries the same risk: an explosion during deployment can scatter sharp metal shards through the cabin. These are Takata-type inflator defects, and prior repair attempts on some vehicles did not fully resolve the issue, which is why multiple recall campaigns exist for what is fundamentally the same problem. Any 2007 A4 Cabriolet with an open recall in this category should be treated as a priority, as the defect affects the airbag systems a vehicle depends on most in a serious crash.
