Consequence	An inflator rupture may result in metal fragments striking the vehicle occupants resulting in serious injury or death.
Remedy	Audi will notify owners, and dealers will replace the passenger frontal air bag inflator, free of charge. The interim owner letters were sent to owners in July 2016, and will be sent a second letter once parts are available. Owners may contact Audi customer service at 1-800-822-2834.
