DETROIT (AP) -- Audi is recalling nearly 102,000 luxury cars because the front air bags may not inflate in a crash.<br />
<br />
The recall covers certain A4 and S4 cars from the 2013 through 2015 model years, plus the 2013 through 2015 Audi Allroad.<br />
<br />
Dealers will update an improperly programmed air bag control module to fix the problem sometime this month.<br />
<br />
Volkswagen, which makes Audis, says in rare cases the air bags may not inflate in a secondary impact. That can increase the risk of injury.<br />
<br />
Volkswagen says no crashes or injuries have been reported in the U.S.<br />
<br />
The company says in documents posted by U.S. safety regulators that the problem was discovered in tests done in August. This led to a review of a small number of incidents in Europe.
