What This Recall Means

Component

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

What Happened
The knee bolster under your dashboard is a safety feature that helps protect you in a crash. But if you rest your knees on it and it touches the wiring harness, it could cause a short circuit.
Risk if Unfixed
If this happens, a fire could break out in the left side of your dashboard. This could spread quickly and potentially cause serious damage or injury.

How to Get This Fixed

Free Fix
Your Audi dealer will install a protective covering on the knee bolster to prevent the short circuit. They'll also inspect and replace the wiring harness and dashboard felt protector if needed - all at no cost to you.
