What owners wrote
Audi recall campaign 69z4 was supposed to fix the passenger occupant detection system malfunction by replacing a connector and harness. This has not fixed the issues. Many audi customers saying the seat belt alarm and warning light still come on. Mine will not shut off until I plug the seat belt back in, but then my airbags turn on and off randomly even if there is an occupant in the passenger seat. This was the cheap fix.
For the last 4 days I have had someone get into my passenger seat and randomly while I'm driving and the car is in motion the airbag signal states ' passenger airbag off' it flashes to notify me it has turned of. I completed research and found their is a recall on audi vehicles for this complaint but only 2016 and a few other years. I believe this recall needs to be extended to 2015 as well.
