Audi Australia has recalled the 2021 Q7 and SQ7 SUVs and RS6 wagon to fix a problem with the airbags.
According to the company, “a connector may become detached from the crash sensor, which may delay the operation of the side airbag, curtain airbag and/or belt tensioner”.
“In an accident resulting in the operation of the side airbag, curtain airbag and/or belt tensioner, any delay resulting from a detached connector, increases the risk of injury and/or death to vehicle occupants,” the recall notice says.
- A total of 19 cars are included in the recall
- A VIN list of affected vehicles is attached here
- The original recall notice is attached here
Audi Australia will contact owners of the affected vehicles and advise them to organise free fix with their nearest dealer.
