Component
POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION:LUBRICANT
Manufacturer
Volkswagen Group of America, Inc.
What Happened
The transmission in your R8 has a lubricant that keeps all the gears moving smoothly. In some 2022 R8 Spyder and 2021-2022 R8 Coupe models, this lubricant might be low, causing problems.
Risk if Unfixed
If the transmission oil is low, your car could lose power while driving, making it harder to control. In the worst case, a leak near hot exhaust parts could even catch fire.
Free Fix
Your Audi dealer will check the transmission oil level and top it off as needed – at no cost to you. You should schedule this inspection and correction as soon as you receive the recall notice.
