Known issues on the 2017 S3. Two recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first covers the passenger occupant classification sensor: the passenger occupant detection system can malfunction and switch off the passenger air bag even when the seat is occupied, raising injury risk in a crash. The second covers the air bag control unit software: in a lower-speed crash, it may deploy the passenger frontal air bag improperly if the occupant is sitting on the edge of the seat or reclined, increasing the risk of injury if the bag deploys with more force than intended. Owners have filed 9 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 passenger air bag diagnostic to routine maintenance, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2017 S3.
