Audi A3 E-Tron Passenger Air Bag May Shut Off high

Reported Jun 19, 2019 · Campaign 19V474000 · Model years: 2018

A faulty electrical connector can cause the system that detects whether a passenger is in the seat to wrongly sense a problem. When that happens, it automatically turns off the passenger airbag. With the airbag turned off, it will not deploy to protect a passenger if the vehicle is in a crash. To fix this, dealers will replace the connector and reroute the cable so the system works correctly.
