Trims covered

Known issues on the 1992 80. One recall is on federal record for this model year, covering the front airbag sensor and control module: some units do not meet Audi's durability standard over the vehicle's life, and a malfunctioning sensor can cause the airbag to deploy without warning, risking loss of vehicle control.

Whether you're inspecting the airbag sensor or working through a routine service interval, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 1992 80.
