The 2010 Audi A5 Cabriolet has 2 recalls, both addressing the same serious defect: the driver's frontal airbag inflator can rupture when the airbag deploys, sending metal fragments into the cabin and potentially causing serious injury.
Both recalls cover this same underlying issue, where excessive internal pressure causes the inflator to burst rather than inflate the bag normally. This is a Takata-type inflator concern, and the risk is present any time the airbag deploys in a crash.
