REC-003525

active

0 AUDI A8

Category: Light Vehicle · Supplier: Audi Australia P/L

Recall date: 4 October 2013

Defect

Audi A8 vehicles with glass sliding/tilting sunroof (PR number 3FE) manufactured within a specific period, an unfavourable stress distribution was set up in the glass roof panel during production. This can cause the glass panel to break unexpectedly. This usually happens when a door is slammed closed while the vehicle is stationary.

Hazard

As the panel consists of single-layer safety glass, which crumbles into small pieces in the event of breakage, a slight risk of injury caused by falling pieces of glass cannot be ruled out.

Remedy

Vehicle owners will be contacted directly. For enquiries, owners may contact Audi Customer Service on 1-800-502-834.
