The 2008 Audi A5 has two recalls, both concerning the same issue: corrosion inside the airbag control unit can cause it to fail, leaving the airbags unable to deploy in a crash.
When the control unit loses power due to internal corrosion, the airbag system stops functioning, which raises the risk of injury to occupants if a collision occurs.
