1993 Audi 80

Component

Air Bags:Frontal:Sensor/Control Module

Consequence of Defect

vehicle description: passenger vehicles. some air bag sensors do not comply with audi's durability standards over the lifetime of the vehicle.

Corrective Action

in the event the sensor should malfunction, the air bag restraint system can inadvertently deploy. deployment of the air bag restraint system without warning could cause a driver to lose vehicle control.

Recall Notes

dealers will replace the air bag sensor control module.

1992 Audi 80

Component

Air Bags:Frontal:Sensor/Control Module

Consequence of Defect

vehicle description: passenger vehicles. some air bag sensors do not comply with audi's durability standards over the lifetime of the vehicle.

Corrective Action

in the event the sensor should malfunction, the air bag restraint system can inadvertently deploy. deployment of the air bag restraint system without warning could cause a driver to lose vehicle control.

Recall Notes

dealers will replace the air bag sensor control module.

1991 Audi 80

Component

Power Train:Axle Assembly

Consequence of Defect

the differential oil of the transaxle is lost over time due to evaporation. low oil levels cause premature bearing and gear wear and eventual failure of the differential.

Corrective Action

in the event of failure, the vehicle's drive wheels couldlose power. in extreme circumstances, the front wheels lock, causing rapiddeceleration resulting in possible loss of vehicle control and an accident.

Recall Notes

drain and replace the differential gear oil with oil having higher performance characteristics.

1991 Audi 80

Component

Air Bags:Frontal:Sensor/Control Module

Consequence of Defect

vehicle description: passenger vehicles. some air bag sensors do not comply with audi's durability standards over the lifetime of the vehicle.

Corrective Action

in the event the sensor should malfunction, the air bag restraint system can inadvertently deploy. deployment of the air bag restraint system without warning could cause a driver to lose vehicle control.

Recall Notes

dealers will replace the air bag sensor control module.

1990 Audi 80

Component

Steering:Column Locking:Anti-Theft Device

Consequence of Defect

improperly manufactured steering lock bolts could break if driver applies excessive force to a locked steering wheel in an attempt to disengage the steering lock.

Corrective Action

bolt breakage would cause steering wheel to remain locked even after the driver turns the ignition key and attempts to move the car; this total loss of steering control could result in an accident.

Recall Notes

replace complete steering lock assembly, including a modified lock bolt.

1990 Audi 80

Component

Power Train:Axle Assembly

Consequence of Defect

the differential oil of the transaxle is lost over time due to evaporation. low oil levels cause premature bearing and gear wear and eventual failure of the differential.

Corrective Action

in the event of failure, the vehicle's drive wheels couldlose power. in extreme circumstances, the front wheels lock, causing rapiddeceleration resulting in possible loss of vehicle control and an accident.

Recall Notes

drain and replace the differential gear oil with oil having higher performance characteristics.
