The 2007 Audi RS 4 has 2 recalls, both concerning the front passenger airbag inflator, which can rupture or explode and send metal fragments into the cabin, causing serious injury or death.
Both recalls address the same defect in the passenger-side frontal airbag inflator. If the airbag deploys, the inflator can fail violently, scattering sharp metal pieces toward anyone seated in the vehicle rather than providing protection in a crash.
