There's a part in your Audi called the gateway control module, which acts like a traffic hub for all the electrical signals in your car. If liquid gets spilled in the rear seat, it could flood this module and cause it to shut down.
Risk if Unfixed
If the gateway control module fails, your engine will suddenly lose power while you're driving, making it harder to control your vehicle. This could lead to a crash.
Free Fix
Your Audi dealer will add a protective cover to shield the gateway control module from spills, completely free of charge. You'll receive a recall notice in the mail, and you should schedule the repair as soon as possible to keep your car safe and reliable.

What Happened
The fuel level sensor in your vehicle is responsible for telling your dashboard how much gas is in your tank. In some 2021-2022 RS6, RS7, A6, S6, and S7 models, this sensor can get stuck, giving you a misleading reading.
