2009 AUDI S4 CABRIOLET Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2009 Audi S4 Cabriolet has 2 recalls, both involving the frontal airbag inflators on the driver and passenger sides, which can explode during deployment and send metal fragments into the cabin, potentially causing serious injury or death.

Both the driver and passenger frontal airbag inflators are affected by the same underlying defect: excessive internal pressure during deployment can cause the inflator to rupture rather than inflate the bag normally, turning the inflator housing into a source of metal shrapnel directed at the vehicle's occupants.
