According to the official sources, Audi – an automotive giant has taken the decision to call back its Q7 models in the US for an Airbag Control module issue. As per the investigation, this software which is integrated with the airbag control module has gone incorrect and is not according to the parameters of safety. It implies that the implosion caused by the crash can deploy the safety device for the front seats with so much exertion that it can brutally harm the passengers.
The models which were manufactured from the time period of August 30, 2015, to May 8, 2016, are on the suspicion list and all the 14,535 Q7 models are called back to fix this technical issue.
