2006 Audi A8 L

Component

Air Bags

Consequence of Defect

on certain passenger vehicles, a wiring harness condition exists that may deactivate the passenger side frontal air bag even under circumstances when it should remain activated.

Corrective Action

if this condition occurs, both the air bag warning light in the instrument cluster and the "passenger air bag off" telltale in the center of the instrument panel will properly illuminate. consequently, the passenger side frontal air bag would not deploy in the case of a frontal crash.

Recall Notes

dealers will modify the wiring harness free of charge. the recall began on november 30, 2005. owners may contact audi at 1-800-822-2834.
