The 2011 Audi A5 Cabriolet has 2 recalls, both concerning the driver's frontal airbag inflator, which can rupture during deployment and send metal fragments into the cabin, potentially causing serious injury.
Both recalls describe the same underlying hazard: excessive internal pressure causes the airbag inflator to burst rather than deploy normally. If the airbag fires in a crash, occupants face risk not only from the collision but from metal shrapnel released inside the vehicle.
