2017 AUDI A5 Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2017 Audi A5 has 3 recalls, all centered on occupant safety systems that can fail to protect passengers in a crash. Two recalls affect the passenger airbag. On certain vehicles, oxidation on the passenger occupant detection system's connecting cable can cause the system's software to mistakenly flag a fault and disable the passenger airbag entirely. A separate issue involves a mounting screw on the passenger airbag module that may not have been tightened enough, which can cause the airbag to deploy incorrectly. Both of these apply to specific body styles within the model lineup, not all A5 configurations. The third recall applies only to Cabriolet models: components of the rear seatbelt pretensioners can break loose during deployment and enter the cabin, posing a risk of injury to rear-seat occupants.
