2017 AUDI S3 Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2017 Audi S3 has 2 recalls, both involving the front passenger airbag deploying with more force than intended when a passenger is seated out of position, which raises the risk of injury in a crash. The airbag control module can misread the front passenger's position, particularly when that person is sitting on the edge of the seat or has the seatback reclined. In those situations, the system may treat the occupant as if they are sitting normally and fire the airbag at full force rather than adjusting deployment to avoid striking someone who is leaning forward or angled toward the dashboard.
