The 2001 Audi TT has 2 recalls, both centered on the driver's airbag inflator, which can fail to deploy properly in a crash and leave the driver without adequate protection.
The inflator in these vehicles uses a propellant formulation that may not perform reliably when the airbag is triggered, meaning the bag may not fully inflate at the moment it is needed most. Both recalls address the same underlying defect in the driver-side airbag inflator module.
