PHS urged its customers to contact their nearest Audi service centre to schedule a complimentary inspection and, if necessary, replacement of the airbag and related parts as soon as possible.

The recall involves the A4 Sedan, A5 Sportback, A6 Sedan, Q5 and TT Coupe models, manufactured between 2008 and 2017.

In a statement, PHS managing director Erik Winter said the manufacturer’s latest update found that the gas generator’s housing may be damaged if the airbag was deployed.

“Although we have determined the number of vehicles for this recall, it’s possible that not all of them will need replacement parts.

“We want to encourage customers to get their vehicles inspected at our service centres for a better peace of mind,” Winter said.

Customers who are unsure if their vehicles are affected by the recall have been advised to visit Audi Malaysia’s website, or contact Audi’s customer service at 1-800-22-2834 or email [email protected]
