2013 Audi Allroad recalls

Recall 14V-667: Air Bags

Reported Oct 24, 2014 · 101,938 vehicles affected · Volkswagen Group of America, Inc.

Problem: Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. (Volkswagen) is recalling certain model year 2013-2015 Audi A4 and S4 vehicles manufactured February 16, 2012, to October 21, 2014, and 2013-2015 Audi Allroad vehicles manufactured March 12, 2012, to October 21, 2014. Due to an improper algorithm in the air bag control module, if a crash necessitates deployment of the side air bags, a second impact to the front of the vehicle may not command the front air bags to also deploy.

Risk: If the front air bags do not deploy in the event of a secondary impact to the front of the vehicle, there is an increased risk of occupant injury.

Fix: Volkswagen will notify owners, and Audi dealers will update the air bag control unit software, free of charge. The recall began on November 14, 2014. Owners may contact Audi customer service at 1-800-822-2834. Volkswagen's number for this recall is 69K5.

A check engine light and "dtc" light came on the dash while driving, but the car had no symptoms of fault otherwise. During one following day, I was in the garage where the car was parked, was not running and unlocked with keys inside, and smelled an electrical fire. I opened the hood and found a softball sized fire burning from an electrical connector coming from the side of the engine. After putting the fire out, I found a blown 'engine management' fuse which may be originally triggered the dashboard faults. I could not disconnect the connector because it has melted together, but AM hoping…

Fuel/Propulsion System · at 112,757 miles · reported Jan 29, 2020

See audi technical service bulletin # 2043758/8. Audi is aware of the issue and has a fix, but has not issues a recall. Please see attached diagnostic paperwork fuel can vaporize in the tank resulting in low fuel pressure and delivery rate. The safety concern is that this could potentially cause a fuel cut which could cause the car to suddenly lose power and rapidly decrease in speed. Since the brake lights would not engage in this scenario, a driver behind the affected vehicle may not realize what is happening; unable to stop in time, the following vehicle may collide with the affected…
