VOLKSWAGEN issued a recall on the A8 model

On certain vehicles, an improperly routed ground in the front passenger-side airbag and seat heater harness may cause signal interference. This can result in the deactivation of the passenger-side frontal airbag under circumstances when it should remain activated. If this condition occurs, the passenger-side frontal airbag would not deploy in the case of a frontal crash, possibly exposing the occupant to risk of injury. Correction: Dealers will modify the wiring harness.
