Audi dealers will install new airbag control module software, which will update 'parameters in the triggering algorithm.' The 2017 Q7 was launched in the U.S. earlier this year and in fact we saw it make its debut in India too. In fact we'll see it in a more powerful avatar soon - the SQ7. The cars sold in India have not been affected by this recall and we'll keep you posted about the launch of the wolf in sheep's clothing.
