A software glitch in some Audi luxury cars in the U.S. and Canada could result in a failure of front air bags, according to documents posted Wednesday by the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Owners of 101,938 Audi A4, Audi S4 and Audi Allroad vehicles from the 2013 to 2015 model years should go to their nearest Audi dealership after Nov. 11 to have the software updated.
“In rare cases, it is possible that the front air bags in the affected vehicles may not deploy in a crash as designed, due to an improper algorithm/coding within the air bag control module,” Volkswagen Group, which owns Audi, said in an Oct. 23 letter to NHTSA. “Front-seat occupants may not have the intended protection from the frontal air bag system in a secondary impact, putting them at risk for injury.”
