What Happened: The passenger airbag may switch off even when the seat is occupied due to a faulty PODS wiring connection. The warning message \u201cPassenger Airbag Off\u201d appears with a chime. This is an active safety recall that was issued before I purchased the vehicle, but the recall was not disclosed at the time of sale.  Safety Risk: If the system shuts off the airbag incorrectly, the passenger may have no airbag protection in a crash, creating a serious risk of injury or death.  Inspection Availability: Vehicle is available for inspection. I live on the Big Island of Hawaii, where there is no Audi-authorized repair facility.  Reproduction/Confirmation: Symptoms match the known recall defect. Audi has confirmed the recall applies to my VIN, but no local dealer exists to inspect or repair it.  Manufacturer/Dealer Inspection: Audi has refused to cover shipping to the nearest authorized dealership on Oahu, which is the only location where the recall can be performed. Therefore, the defect has not been inspected due to lack of accessible remedy.  Warnings/Symptoms: Airbag warning light illuminates and a message appears indicating the passenger airbag is off, along with a chime.  Additional Notes: I cannot safely use or sell the car because the required safety repair is inaccessible. Audi\u2019s refusal to provide transportation makes it impossible to complete the mandated recall.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2018","productMake":"AUDI","productModel":"S5","manufacturer":"Volkswagen Group of America, Inc."}]}]}
