Category: Light Vehicle · Supplier: Audi Australia P/L
Recall date: 14 June 2013
Due to electrolysis, the DSG transmissions are susceptible to conductive deposits forming in the gearbox control units, possibly causing the gearbox fuse to blow. Should this happen, the clutch will fully open due to power supply failure, causing the vehicle to roll to a stop if in motion.
In the majority of cases, the fault occurs when the engine is started with the vehicle stationary. If the fuse blows while the vehicle is in motion, however, a sudden loss of power at the wheels could in certain circumstances cause a hazard to the occupants and to other road users. All other functions of the vehicle (steering, braking, etc.) remain fully active.
Vehicle owners will be contacted directly. For enquiries, owners may contact Audi Customer Service on 1-800-502-834.
