PHS Automotive Malaysia (PHSAM) has issued a voluntary recall for 2,767 cars, which includes Audi A4 Sedan, A5 Sportback, A6 Sedan, Q5, and TT Coupe models manufactured between 2008 and 2017. The recall is for Takata airbags or gas generators on the driver’s side, passenger side, and curtain, and affected customers are urged to contact their nearest Audi Centre as soon as possible for a complimentary inspection and replacement, if necessary.
According to the manufacturer’s latest update, there is a possibility that the gas generator housing may be damaged when the airbag is deployed, which could result in small metal parts becoming dislodged from the housing, posing a serious safety risk.
Additionally, customers who own vehicles that are 5 years and older are eligible for Audi Plus, a recently launched program that provides a 10% discount on maintenance services at any Audi Centre. They will also receive three service discount vouchers that can be used within three years after the 5th year of service, as well as complimentary Audi Roadside Assistance nationwide for up to 12 months from the date of voucher redemption.
If you are unsure whether your Audi vehicle is affected by this recall campaign, you can visit the Audi Malaysia website or contact Audi Customer Service at 1-800-22-2834 or email info@phsautomotive.com.my.
