Recall history

3 distinct campaigns affect this selection. Announcement dates below are different from vehicle model years. A campaign may cover multiple years.

01V325000 · Suspension:Rear

Reported: 2001-10-10 (October 10, 2001)

VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER VEHICLES. MOISTURE COULD ENTER THE REAR TRACK CONTROL ARM'S MOUNTING BUSHING AND BOLT COMBINATION AND CAUSE CORROSION.

Consequence: CORROSION COULD IMPEDE THE FREE MOVEMENT OF THE CONTROL ARM.

Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE TRACK CONTROL ARMS. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN APRIL 12, 2002. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT AUDI AT 1-800-822-2834.

20V056000 · Air Bags:Frontal:Driver Side:Inflator Module

Reported: 2020-01-31 (January 31, 2020)

Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. (VW) is recalling certain 2000-2001 TT Roadster, 2000 TT Coupe, 1999 Audi A8, 1998-2000 Audi A6, and 1999-2000 Audi A4 vehicles equipped with Non-Azide Driver air bag Inflators (NADI) that do not contain phase stabilized ammonium nitrate (PSAN) propellant. Due to a manufacturing issue, the NADI inflators may absorb moisture, possibly causing the air bag to deploy improperly in the event of a crash.

Consequence: In the event of a crash necessitating air bag deployment, the air bag may not properly protect the occupant, increasing the risk of serious injury or death.

Remedy: Dealers will replace the driver frontal air bag inflator with an alternative inflator when the parts become available, free of charge. Owner notifications were mailed September 21, 2021. Owners may contact Audi customer service at 1-800-253-2834. Volkswagen's number for this recall is 69BT.

ON FEBRUARY 22ND, THE TIMING BELT FAILED AND THE ENGINE WAS SEVERLY DAMAGED. THE REPAIRS COST ME $3650 ALONG WITH A RENTAL CAR BILL OF $450. SINCE MY CAR HAD 47,200 MILES ON IT WHEN THIS HAPPENED, I ATTEMPTED TO GET AUDI OF NORTH AMERICA TO PAY FOR THE REPARIS BUT THEY REFUSED. THE CAR IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY, BUT THE MAINTAINANCE MANUAL SPECIFIES THAT THE TIMING BELT SHOULD BE CHANGE AT 120,000 MILES. THIS PROBLEM IS NOT UNIQUE TO AUDI, TO THE AUDI TT, OR TO THE 1.8 T ENGI… Look up ODI 10153462 at NHTSA ↗ ODI 10195272 · 85,000 mi TLTHE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 AUDI TT.

Emerging complaint spikes

Complete months in the latest six months with at least 10 complaints, at least twice the preceding 12-month average, and at least three square-root deviations above that average.

This is a descriptive screening rule, not a statistical defect finding. Publicity and reporting changes can increase submissions.

No complete months meet the spike thresholds for this selection.

Equal-age model-year comparison

Model-wide cumulative reports during the first three or five calendar years, starting with the model year (age 0). Only fully elapsed windows are compared.
