Problem Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. (Audi) is recalling certain 2023-2024 SQ8, RSQ8, Q8, Q7, and 2024 SQ7 vehicles.

As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 214, "Side Impact Protection." Risk An improperly mounted air bag may not restrain an occupant as intended, increasing the risk of injury during a crash. Fix Dealers will inspect and reinstall the air bag as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed January 17, 2024. Owners may contact Audi customer service at 1-800-253-2834.

Two numbers, one recall

Every safety recall carries two identifiers. 69GA is the number Audi assigned in its own system: it is what appears on the owner letter, on the dealer’s service screen and on the repair order. 23V868000 is the number NHTSA filed the same recall under when the manufacturer reported it, and it is the one every federal record, this site included, is keyed on.

The repair is free by federal law for vehicles up to fifteen years old. Whether one particular vehicle is included is settled by its VIN against the manufacturer’s build list, not by its model year.

Which vehicles does 69GA cover?

2023–2024 Audi Q7 and 4 other Audi models, 1,001 vehicles by the manufacturer’s count. A recall covers a build range, so the VIN decides whether one particular vehicle is in it.
