2011 AUDI S5 CABRIOLET Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2011 Audi S5 Cabriolet has 2 recalls, both concerning the same serious defect: the driver's frontal airbag inflator can rupture when the airbag deploys, sending metal fragments into the cabin and potentially causing serious injury.

Both recalls describe the same underlying problem with the driver's airbag inflator building excessive internal pressure during deployment. The result in either case is the same: instead of the airbag inflating normally, the inflator can burst and scatter metal fragments toward the driver and other occupants.
