Known issues on the 1997 A6. Two recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first covers the front air bags: static electricity discharged under low humidity can activate the driver's side air bag when entering or exiting the vehicle, causing it to fire and potentially injure the occupant. The second covers the rear seat belts, where the retractors may fail to lock properly or stay locked once engaged, raising the risk of occupant injury in a crash. Owners have filed 21 complaints for the year, and no technical service bulletins are logged. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.
From a driver's air bag inspection to checking rear seat belt retractor function or routine V6 service, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 1997 A6.
