New one to me, guess I'll just have to wait for the notification then contact my dealer.

The Consumer Reports link contains a link (below) to the NHTSA site where you can type in your VIN, so you don't have to wait to learn if your car is among the affected. We have had some issues with the sensor detecting whether my wife was sitting there or not, but apparently the ventilated seats are not affected (when I typed in my VIN).

Yes, I received an email regarding the air bag sensor recall. Part not available yet. I’m on the list at the dealer.

As luck would have it, I returned the 2016 A6 to the dealer yesterday as the 3 year lease was up.
