However, both the air bag warning light in the instrument cluster as well as the 'passenger air bag off' telltale in the center of the instrument panel will illuminate and provide visual warning to the driver.

    Risk: If the case of a frontal crash, the passenger side front air bag would not deploy which could cause injury to the seat occupant.

    Remedy: Dealers will update the air bag control module software. The recall began on december 5, 2006. Owners may contact audi at 1-800-822-2834.
