Dear Audi Owner:
This notice is sent to you in accordance with the requirements of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act.
Audi has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in some 1995 to 1997 model Audi vehicles. Our records show that your Audi
is one of the vehicles which could be affected by this condition.
Defect Description
Audi has determined that the discharge of static electricity under low humidity conditions could activate the driver side air bag when the driver enters or
exits the vehicle and inadvertently helps form an electrical circuit by touching certain areas of the steering wheel. Activation of the air bag under these
conditions could cause injury.
Remedy
Your authorized Audi dealer will install a ground wire which is designed to harmlessly discharge any such static electricity.
Repair Schedule
Parts and installation instructions will be at your authorized Audi dealer during the week of October 13, 1997.
Anticipated Repair Time
The work will take approximately one hour. However, your dealer may need your vehicle for a longer period. The work will, of course, be performed at
no charge to you.
What You Need To Do
Please contact the Service Department of your authorized Audi dealer to schedule an appointment as soon as possible. When you deliver your Audi for
recall service, please present the enclosed authorization form to the dealer's service representative.
