Model Line: Macan
Concerns: Airbag control unit
Information:
This is to inform you of a voluntary Workshop Campaign on the above-mentioned vehicles. If the passenger airbag is not switched off on the affected vehicles, there is a possibility that the PASSENGER AIRBAG ON light will sporadically only go out about 5 minutes after the ignition is switched on.
This does not comply with the specifications in the Owner’s Manual, according to which the PASSENGER AIRBAG ON light comes on for about 1 minute after the ignition has been switched on and then goes out if the passenger’s airbag is not switched off.
Action required:
Reprogram the airbag control unit with modified software to ensure that the light always works as described in the Owner’s Manual.

The VIN(s) can be checked by using PIWIS Vehicle Information link to verify if the campaign affects the vehicle. This campaign is scope specific to the VIN! Failure to verify in PIWIS may result in an improper repair.
