Known issues on the 2006 A4. Three recalls are on federal record for this model year, and all three trace back to the same component: the passenger frontal air bag inflator module. In each case, propellant degradation in the inflator can cause it to rupture or explode during deployment, sending sharp metal fragments into the driver or other occupants and risking serious injury or death. Owners have filed 298 complaints for the year, and no technical service bulletins are logged. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind the air bag system are here.
Whether you're addressing the air bag inflator recall, working through the turbocharged 2.0L or 1.8L engine bay, or handling routine service, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2006 A4.
