Audi recalls 240,000 vehicles over disabled passenger airbags

New York: Volkswagen Group is recalling more than 240,000 Audi vehicles in the US and Canada. The luxury cars are recalled due to an electric cable problem that can cause a computer to disable the passenger airbag. The recall covers 2020 Audi A4, RS5, A5, S4 and S5 models.

The automobile company said that a cable in the passenger occupant detection system can be faulty and it can cause the  software to misdiagnose a malfunction and disable the passenger air bag, increasing the risk of injury in a crash. Dealers will replace the cable and the heating mat or the entire seat cover. Owners will be notified by letter starting January 7.
