What Happened
There's a part in your vehicle called the gateway control module, which helps control the engine and other systems. It's located in the rear seat area.
Risk if Unfixed
If liquid gets spilled in the rear seat and seeps into this module, it could shut down, causing your engine to suddenly lose power. This could make it harder to control your vehicle, especially if you're driving at high speeds, and increase the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Your Audi dealer will install a protective cover to shield the gateway control module from liquids, completely free of charge.
