On certain vehicles, a software problem could cause the rearview camera image not to appear on the display. Canadian regulations require the rearview image to display when the transmission is shifted into reverse gear.
A rearview camera image that doesn't display could reduce a driver's ability to see behind the vehicle while backing up. This could increase the risk of a crash.
Audi will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to update the rearview camera software.
On certain vehicles, if you spill liquid on the rear seat, the gateway control module could be damaged. If this happens, the vehicle may enter emergency mode and suddenly lose power to the wheels. Note: The power steering and braking systems will continue to work. You may also see warning messages on the instrument panel when this happens.
A sudden loss of power to the wheels may increase the risk of a crash.
Audi will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to install a protective cover on the gateway control module.
On certain vehicles, the fuel level sender may get stuck. If this happens, the fuel gauge can show a higher fuel level than what is actually in the fuel tank. This could cause a driver to believe there is fuel when the tank is empty. As a result, the vehicle could run out of fuel and stall.
A sudden loss of engine power could increase the risk of a crash.
Audi will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to replace the fuel level sensor.
On certain vehicles, a problem with the instrument panel cover may cause the passenger-front airbag not to inflate properly in a crash. This could also cause plastic pieces to be propelled toward vehicle occupants when the airbag inflates.
The passenger-front airbag may not open and inflate properly in a crash, and plastic pieces could be propelled towards the vehicle occupants. This could create an increased risk of injury in a crash.
Audi will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to inspect the passenger-front airbag score line in the instrument panel and repair it, if necessary.
On certain vehicles, the tire information label includes the specifications and inflation pressure for a spare tire. As the vehicles are not equipped with a spare tire, the label should indicate ‘none’. Canadian regulations require a company to provide information about the inflation pressures for tires that a vehicles equipped with.
This small error does not affect vehicle safety.
