| Description of the problem | The vehicle was affected previously and confirmed fixed by audi under recall 69z4 for the occupant sensor. The airbag, seatbelt, audi presense error light will illuminate at times regardless of whether an occupant is sitting in the passenger seat going on and off sporadically while driving or stationary. The vehicle is eligible to be fixed under warranty, however it appears their original fix under the recall was not adequate in resolving the occupant airbag sensor light and poses a safety hazard to passengers if the airbag were to turn off while an accident occurred. After a recent diagnostic the codes that appeared are similar to what would occur prior to audi's "fix" to the recall. |
