What This Recall Means

Component

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

What Happened

The gateway control module in your Audi is a computer that helps control various systems. In some 2019-2022 models, liquid spilled in the rear seat could reach and damage this module, causing it to shut down.

Risk if Unfixed

If the gateway control module shuts down, your engine power will suddenly decrease, making it harder to control your vehicle and increasing the risk of a crash.

How to Get This Fixed

Free Fix

Your Audi dealer will install a protective cover to prevent spills from reaching the control module, and this repair is free for you. You should schedule the repair as soon as you get the recall notice.
