ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Manufacturer
VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA, INC
What Happened
The connector in your vehicle's headlight switch is supposed to keep the electrical current flowing smoothly. But in some 2006 Audi vehicles with halogen low beam headlights, the connector pins can touch each other, causing a short circuit.
Risk if Unfixed
If this short circuit happens, it could cause your headlight to overheat or even catch fire, which could lead to a serious accident.
Free Fix
Your Audi dealer will rewire the harness by adding a jumper wiring harness to prevent the short circuit – and the repair is completely free.

Original — What Happened
ON CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH HALOGEN LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS, CERTAIN CONNECTOR PINS IN THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH CONNECTOR COME INTO CONTACT WITH EACH OTHER CAUSING A SHORT CIRCUIT. NOTE: VEHICLES WITH XENON LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ARE NOT AFFECTED BECAUSE THE CIRCUIT IN THESE VEHICLES CONTAINS A FUSE, WHICH PRECLUDES EXCESSIVE CURRENT FLOW IN THE CASE OF A SHORT CIRCUIT. AUDI S6 AND S6 AVANT VEHICLES ARE ALL EQUIPPED WITH XENON LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS AND, THEREFORE, ARE NOT LONGER AFFECTED BY THIS RECALL.
Original — Risk if Unfixed
THIS CONDITION COULD LEAD TO OVERHEATING OR FIRE.
Original — Remedy
DEALERS WILL REROUTE THE WIRING HARNESS BY INSTALLING A JUMPER WIRING HARNESS. THE RECALL BEGAN ON DECEMBER 16, 2006. OWNERS MAY CONTACT AUDI AT 1-800-822-2834.
