Defect Description

Safety Consequence

If the air bag deployment performance is reduced, it can increase the risk of injury.

Remedy

Bugatti will notify owners, and dealers will remove the affected seats to repair or replace them, free of charge. The recall began July 26, 2018. Owners may contact Bugatti customer service at 1-805-557-1050.
