February 17, 2021 NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 21V078000
Incorrect Air Bag Module Parameters/FMVSS 208
During a crash necessitating the deployment of the passenger air bag, the second stage may deploy too quickly when a child is in the front passenger seat, increasing the risk of injury.
NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V078
Manufacturer Volkswagen
Group of America, Inc.
Components AIR BAGS
Potential Number of Units Affected 26,967
Summary
Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. (Audi) is recalling certain 2020-2021 Audi Q7 vehicles. The air bag control module may deploy the second stage of the front passenger air bag too quickly after the first stage when the seat is occupied by a child. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 208, “Occupant Crash Protection.”
Remedy
Audi will notify owners, and dealers will update the air bag control module, free of charge. The recall began March 5, 2021. Owners can contact Audi customer service at 1-800-253-2834. Audi’s number for this recall is 69BV.
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
Issue:
Investigations have found that the second stage of the dual-stage airbag may be activated too soon after stage 1 in certain cases in a very specific, low speed front crash scenario (26 km/h, full frontal). This scenario was not properly accounted for in the airbag inflation parameters of the airbag control module.
Audi has decided that the affected vehicles may not fully comply with a section of FMVSS208/CMVSS 208, Occupant crash protection. During conformity-of-production testing using unbelted, out of position 6-year-old test dummies in the front passenger seating position, the dummy instrumentation recorded a “Normalized neck injury criteria” (Nij) of 1,01 in position 2 (dummy´s chest on the instrument panel) which slightly exceeds the permitted value of 1,00.
Although it is unsafe and strongly unadvisable for a child occupant to ride unsecured in the front passenger seat, a child in that position at the time of a crash necessitating air bag deployment may be subject to an increased risk of injury.

IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL
This notice applies to your vehicle: ,
NHTSA: 21V078
Subject: Compliance Recall 69BV – Airbag Control Module Programming
Dear Audi Owner,
This notice is sent to you in accordance with the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act.
Audi has decided that certain 2021-2021 model year Audi Q7 vehicles fail to conform to Federal
Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 208, Occupant Crash Protection. Our records show that
you are the owner of a vehicle affected by this action.
What is the issue? Investigations have found that the second stage of the dual-stage
airbag may be activated too soon after stage 1 in certain cases in a
very specific, low speed front crash scenario (26 km/h, full frontal).
This scenario was not properly accounted for in the airbag inflation
parameters of the airbag control module.
Audi has decided that the affected vehicles may not fully comply with
a section of FMVSS 208, Occupant Crash Protection. During
conformity-of-production testing using unbelted, out of position 6-
year-old test dummies in the front passenger seating position, the
dummy instrumentation recorded a “Normalized neck injury criteria”
(Nij) of 1,01 in position 2 (dummy´s chest on the instrument panel)
which slightly exceeds the permitted value of 1,00.
Although it is unsafe and strongly unadvisable for a child occupant to
ride unsecured in the front passenger seat, a child in that position at
the time of a crash necessitating airbag deployment may be subject
to an increased risk of injury.
What will we do? To correct this noncompliance, your authorized Audi dealer will
update parameters of the airbag control module. This work will take
about an hour 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

dealer near you and schedule this service.

Administración Nacional de Seguridad del Tráfico en las Carreteras (NHTSA): 21V078
Asunto: Llamado a revisión por cumplimiento 69BV – Programación del módulo de
control de las bolsas de aire
Estimado propietario de un Audi:
Le enviamos este aviso de conformidad con la Ley Nacional de Seguridad del Tráfico y
Vehículos Motorizados. Audi ha determinado que ciertos vehículos Audi Q7 modelo 2021-2021
no cumplen con la Norma federal de seguridad de vehículos motorizados (FMVSS) 208,
Protección contra accidentes de los pasajeros. Nuestros registros muestran que usted es
propietario de un vehículo afectado por esta acción.
¿Cuál es el problema? Las investigaciones encontraron que la segunda etapa de las bolsas
de aire de dos etapas puede activarse demasiado pronto después de
la primera etapa en ciertos casos en una situación muy específica de
choque frontal a baja velocidad (26 km/h, totalmente frontal). Esta
situación no se tuvo en cuenta correctamente en los parámetros de
inflado de las bolsas de aire del módulo de control de las bolsas de
aire.
Audi determinó que es posible que los vehículos afectados no
cumplan plenamente con una sección de la FMVSS 208, Protección
contra accidentes de los pasajeros. Durante las pruebas de
conformidad de la producción utilizando maniquíes de prueba que
simulan a un niño de 6 años sin cinturón y fuera de posición en el
asiento del pasajero delantero, la instrumentación de maniquíes
registró “Criterios normalizados de lesión del cuello” (Nij) de 1,01 en
la posición 2 (el pecho del maniquí en el tablero de instrumentos) que
excede levemente el valor permitido de 1,00.
Aunque es inseguro y muy desaconsejable que un niño viaje sin
seguridad en el asiento del pasajero delantero, un niño en esa
posición en el momento de un choque que requiera el despliegue de
la bolsa de aire puede estar sujeto a un mayor riesgo de lesiones.
¿Qué vamos a hacer? Para corregir este incumplimiento, su concesionaria autorizada Audi
actualizará los parámetros del módulo de control de las bolsas de
aire. Este trabajo tomará aproximadamente una hora y se realizará
de forma gratuita. Tenga en cuenta que su concesionaria puede
necesitar más tiempo para preparar la reparación, así como para
adaptar el cronograma diario del taller.

Advance Notice – Compliance Recall 69BV / Airbag Control Module Programming
This notice is for: Dealer Principal
General Manager
Sales Managers
Service Manager
Parts Manager
Service Advisor
Warranty Administrator
Technicians
Date: February 24, 2021
Issue: Investigations have found that the second stage of the dual-stage airbag may be
activated too soon after stage 1 in certain cases in a very specific, low speed front crash
scenario (26 km/h, full frontal). This scenario was not properly accounted for in the airbag
inflation parameters of the airbag control module.
Audi has decided that the affected vehicles may not fully comply with a section of
FMVSS208/CMVSS 208, Occupant crash protection. During conformity-of-production
testing using unbelted, out of position 6-year-old test dummies in the front passenger
seating position, the dummy instrumentation recorded a “Normalized neck injury criteria”
(Nij) of 1,01 in position 2 (dummy´s chest on the instrument panel) which slightly exceeds
the permitted value of 1,00.
Although it is unsafe and strongly unadvisable for a child occupant to ride unsecured in
the front passenger seat, a child in that position at the time of a crash necessitating air
bag deployment may be subject to an increased risk of injury.
Repair: REPAIR NOT YET AVAILABLE

Reprogramming
Overview – Introduction
The Immobilizer is a theft-deterrent device that adds a layer of security to VWGoA vehicles that include the following brands: Audi, Bentley, Lamborghini, and VW. Certain repairs such as replacing emission parts cannot be performed without resetting the immobilizer code for the vehicle. This is done by a technician using the VAS for PC software to synchronize the immobilizer code embedded in the ignition key with other codes resident on parts such as the Transmission Control Module, Engine Control Module, and Instrument Cluster.
Before you can replace an emission part
Whenever you replace an emission-related control module, the immobilizer must be reset using the VAS for PC software. This can only be done if you meet the following requirements:
- You have enrolled into the program (see step 1 - Complete Pass Thru Enrollment Forms)
- You have received an email from VWGoA that contains a Security ID and Password to access the immobilizer application hosted in Germany
- You have received an email from VWGoA that contains a certificate file (e.g. IndepeDeale.30001.300999.pfx)
- You have installed the certificate onto your PC
- You have obtained a J 2534-1 Pass Thru device (see recommended J 2534-1 Pass Thru devices)
- You have performed the steps outlined in VAS for PC Setup
Recommended J 2534-1 Pass Thru devices
Pass thru devices are available for purchase from a recommended Manufacturer for registered workshops to perform Immobilizer functions. The Pass Thru devices that have been tested to work with VAS for PC follow:
