Known issues on the 2008 A4 Quattro. Four recalls are on federal record for this model year, and all four concern the passenger frontal air bag system. Three separate campaigns address inflator modules where propellant degradation can cause the inflator to explode or rupture, sending metal fragments at occupants and risking serious injury or death; a fourth covers an air bag control unit that can corrode and fail, so the air bags may not deploy at all in a crash. Owners have filed 191 complaints for the year, and no technical service bulletins are logged. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind the air bag system, control unit, and inflator modules are here.
Whether you're inspecting the air bag control unit, tracing a restraint-system fault, or working through a routine service interval, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2008 A4 Quattro.
