What Happened
The gateway control module in your Audi is like a central computer that keeps your car's systems running smoothly. It's located under the rear seat, and it could be damaged if liquid gets spilled on it.
Risk if Unfixed
If liquid spills onto the gateway control module, it could shut down, reducing your car's engine power. This could make it harder to control your vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Your Audi dealer will install a protective cover to shield the gateway control module from spills, free of charge. This repair is a precautionary measure to ensure your safety on the road.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:INSTRUMENT PANEL:FUEL GAUGE:FUEL LEVEL FLOAT/SENSOR/SENDING UNIT

Manufacturer
Volkswagen Group of America, Inc.
What Happened
The fuel level sensor in your vehicle is a small device that tells your dashboard how much gas you have left. In certain 2021-2022 Audi models, this sensor can get stuck, giving you an incorrect reading.
Risk if Unfixed

Free Fix
Your Audi dealer will replace the faulty sensor with a new one, and this repair is on the house. You should schedule the fix as soon as you get the recall notice.
