The 2007 Audi A4 has 3 recalls, all concerning the same serious defect: the front passenger airbag inflator can rupture and send metal fragments into the cabin, causing serious injury or death.
All three recalls address this same airbag inflator issue, filed across different coverage groups. Some filings specifically target vehicles registered in high-humidity states and territories, where heat and moisture accelerate the deterioration that makes the inflator prone to rupture. The fix involves replacing the passenger-side airbag inflator module.
