The 2016 Audi TT has 4 recalls, all rated at the highest severity level, covering two serious safety issues: a front passenger airbag inflator that can rupture and send metal fragments into the cabin, and a fuel tank that can crack in a front crash and leak fuel, raising the risk of fire.
The airbag issue affects the front passenger side, where the inflator can explode during deployment rather than inflate the bag properly, sending sharp metal pieces toward occupants. The fuel tank concern involves the tank being damaged by its own heat shield bracket in a crash, allowing fuel to escape. Prior repair attempts may not have fully resolved the fuel tank issue, as it appears across more than one recall filing.
