The contact's wife had to sit on a towel while seated in the passenger’s seat to activate the air bags, and to turn off the warning light. The vehicle was taken to the dealer to be diagnosed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and opened a case. The manufacturer stated that the air bag sensor was not designed to activate if the seat was affected by moisture. The failure mileage was approximately 6,000.

The system warning keeps coming on, I’ve tried to schedule appointments with Audi since 2022 and they have zero appointments available.

I am affected by recall 69r6 for this vehicle. I moved to germany in 2012 and took my car with me. Audi in germany refused to honor the recall claiming that it is not applicable to germany due to different "climate conditions". What can I do (other than shipping the car back to the us) ? thanks.

Component/system: passenger occupant detection system (pods) / airbag system — recall 74e3 / NHTSA 21v874. What happened: the passenger airbag may switch off even when the seat is occupied due to a faulty pods wiring connection. The warning message “passenger airbag off” appears with a chime. This is an active safety recall that was issued before I purchased the vehicle, but the recall was not disclosed at the time of sale. Safety risk: if the system shuts off the airbag incorrectly, the passenger may have no airbag protection in a crash, creating a serious risk of injury or death. Inspection availability: vehicle is available for inspection. I live on the big island of hawaii, where there is no Audi-authorized repair facility. Reproduction/confirmation: symptoms match the known recall defect. Audi has confirmed the recall applies to my VIN, but no local dealer exists to inspect or repair it. Manufacturer/dealer inspection: Audi has refused to cover shipping to the nearest authorized dealership on oahu, which is the only location where the recall can be performed. Therefore, the defect has not been inspected due to lack of accessible remedy. Warnings/symptoms: airbag warning light illuminates and a message appears indicating the passenger airbag is off, along with a chime. Additional notes: I cannot safely use or sell the car because the required safety repair is inaccessible. Audi’s refusal to provide transportation makes it impossible to complete the mandated recall.

Takata recall - I have been notified by Audi that the airbag in my car needs to be replaced but they have offered no timetable as to when this may be possible. No solution is currently available. I find it disconcerting to be driving a car that has an airbag that could cause significant injury.
