December 2, 2020 NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 20V749000
Faulty Side Impact Crash Sensor In Front Doors
A detached connector can delay the activation of the restraint systems, including the side air bag, curtain air bag and/or seat-belt pretensioners during a side impact crash, increasing the risk of injury.
NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V749
Manufacturer Volkswagen Group of America, Inc.
Components ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, AIR BAGS
Potential Number of Units Affected 166
Summary
Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. (Audi) is recalling certain 2021 Audi A6 Allroad, Q7, RS6 and RS7 vehicles. The electrical connector can detach from the door crash sensor in either of the front doors.
Remedy
Audi will notify owners, and dealers will inspect, and as necessary, replace the crash sensors in both front doors, free of charge. The recall began December 23, 2020. Owners may contact Audi customer service at 1-800-253-2834. Audi’s number for this recall is 69BM.
Notes
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
Check if your Audi has a Recall
Problem Description
Faulty sensor housings may have been used during the production of the door crash sensors at the supplier. As a result, the locking mechanism for the electrical connector on the crash sensor may be impaired and the electrical connector may become detached. In unfavorable circumstances while the vehicle is moving, the electrical connector may become detached from the crash sensor. If this happens in the event of a side crash, the restraint systems for the side of the vehicle may react slower. This may lead to an increased risk of injury in a side crash due to a delayed activation of the side airbag, curtain airbag and/or seat-belt pretensioner as the system has to rely on two other crash sensors only.
Corrective Action
Inspect and, if necessary, replace the affected door crash sensor(s).
Precautions
If the electrical connector becomes detached from the crash sensor while driving, it will turn on the airbag indicator light. Customers are advised not to ignore vehicle warning/indicator lights and should contact their authorized Audi dealer and arrange for vehicle inspection/repair in the event the airbag indicator light comes on while driving.
Code Visibility
On or about December 15, 2020, the campaign code will be applied to affected vehicles.
Owner Notification
Owner notification will take place in December 2020. Owner letter examples are included in this bulletin for your reference.

NHTSA: 20V749
Subject: Safety Recall 69BM – Door Crash Sensors
Dear Audi Owner,
This notice is sent to you in accordance with the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act.
Audi has decided that a defect, which relates to motor vehicle safety, exists in certain 2021
model year Audi vehicles. Our records show that you are the owner of a vehicle affected by this
action.
What is the issue? Faulty sensor housings may have been used during the production of
the door crash sensors at the supplier. As a result, the locking
mechanism for the electrical connector on the crash sensor may be
impaired and the electrical connector may become detached. In
unfavorable circumstances while the vehicle is moving, the electrical
connector may become detached from the crash sensor. If this
happens in the event of a side crash, the restraint systems for the side
of the vehicle may react slower. This may lead to an increased risk of
injury in a side crash due to a delayed activation of the side airbag,
curtain airbag and/or seat-belt pretensioner as the system has to rely
on two other crash sensors only.
What will we do? To correct this defect, your authorized Audi dealer will inspect and, if
necessary, replace the affected door crash sensor(s). This work will
take a couple of hours to complete and will be performed for you free
of charge. Please keep in mind that your dealer may need additional
time for the preparation of the repair, as well as to accommodate their
daily workshop schedule.
What should you do? Please contact your authorized Audi dealer without delay to schedule
this recall repair. For your convenience, you can also visit
www.audiusa.com and click on the “Find a Dealer” link to locate a
dealer near you and schedule this service.
Precautions you
should take
If the electrical connector becomes detached from the crash sensor
while driving, it will turn on the airbag indicator light. Customers are
advised not to ignore vehicle warning/indicator lights and should
contact their authorized Audi dealer and arrange for vehicle
inspection/repair in the event the airbag indicator light comes on while
driving.

El presente aviso corresponde a su vehículo: <MODEL YEAR> <BRAND> <CARLINE>, <VIN>
NHTSA: 20V749
Asunto: Campaña de llamada a revisión 69BM – Sensores de impacto para puertas
Estimado(a) propietario(a) de un vehículo Audi:
El presente aviso se le envía de acuerdo con la Ley Nacional de Tráfico y Seguridad con
Vehículos Motorizados de EE. UU. Audi determinó que existe un defecto relacionado con la
seguridad de los vehículos motorizados en determinados vehículos Audi modelo 2021.
Nuestros registros indican que usted es propietario(a) de uno de los vehículos afectados por
esta medida.
¿Cuál es el
problema?
Es posible que se hayan utilizado carcasas para sensores defectuosas
durante la producción de los sensores de impacto para puertas por
parte del proveedor. Como resultado, el mecanismo de bloqueo del
conector eléctrico del sensor de impacto puede verse afectado y el
conector eléctrico puede desprenderse. En circunstancias
desfavorables, mientras el vehículo está en movimiento, el conector
eléctrico puede desprenderse del sensor de impacto. Si esto ocurre en
el caso de un choque lateral, los sistemas de seguridad del costado
del vehículo podrían reaccionar con mayor lentitud. Esto puede
provocar un mayor riesgo de sufrir lesiones en un choque lateral
debido a una activación retardada de la bolsa de aire lateral, la bolsa
de aire tipo cortina o el pretensor del cinturón de seguridad, ya que el
sistema dependerá solo de otros dos sensores de impacto.
¿Qué haremos? Para corregir este defecto, su concesionario Audi autorizado
inspeccionará y, si es necesario, cambiará los sensores de impacto
para puertas. Este servicio llevará unas horas y se le ofrecerá de
forma gratuita. No obstante, considere la posibilidad de que su
concesionario necesite tiempo adicional para la preparación del
servicio y la organización del horario del taller.
¿Qué debe hacer? Comuníquese de inmediato con su concesionario Audi autorizado para
programar este servicio de reparación. También puede visitar el sitio
www.audiusa.com y hacer clic en “Find a Dealer” (Buscar
concesionario) para encontrar un concesionario cercano a su domicilio
y programar este servicio.

¿Qué recaudos debe
tomar?
Si el conector eléctrico se desconecta del sensor de impacto mientras
conduce, se encenderá la luz indicadora de las bolsas de aire. Se
aconseja a los clientes que no ignoren las luces indicadoras o de
advertencia del vehículo y que se pongan en contacto con su
concesionario Audi autorizado y organicen la inspección o reparación
del vehículo en caso de que la luz indicadora de las bolsas de aire se
encienda mientras conducen.
Vehículos rentados y

Si usted es el(la) arrendador(a) y propietario(a) registrado del vehículo

vendió el vehículo, complete la tarjeta prepagada de respuesta del
propietario adjunta y envíenosla para que podamos actualizar nuestros
registros.
¿De qué otra forma
podemos ayudarlo?
Si su concesionario Audi autorizado no puede completar esta tarea de
forma gratuita en un plazo razonable o no está en condiciones de
hacerlo, comuníquese con la Atención al cliente de Audi al 1-800-253-
