Official summary

Audi is extending warranty coverage for the continental airbag control module in certain 2008-2010 my vehicles (under specific conditions) to 15 years or 150,000 miles, whichever occurs first, from the vehicle's original in-service date. The vehicle's in-service date is defined as the date the vehicle was delivered to either the original purchaser or the original lessee; or if the vehicle was first placed in service as a "demonstrator" or "company" car, on the date such vehicle was first placed in service. This warranty extension is fully transferable to subsequent owners.warranty key: u27 air

What a TSB means. Technical service bulletins are repair guidance manufacturers send to dealers — they are not recalls, and repairs are not automatically free (warranty extensions are an exception worth checking). The full document is available via NHTSA’s vehicle lookup.
