2008 AUDI A4 Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2008 Audi A4 has 3 recalls, all centered on the same serious defect: the front passenger airbag inflator can rupture and send metal fragments into the cabin, with the potential to cause serious injury or death. All three recalls address this Takata airbag inflator issue across overlapping groups of affected vehicles. Some filings are geographically scoped to high-humidity states and territories where the risk is elevated, while others apply more broadly. Because these are the same underlying defect filed across multiple campaigns, the practical concern is one: the passenger-side frontal airbag inflator may explode rather than inflate normally, turning the inflator housing into a source of metal shrapnel directed at the front passenger.
