2015 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.

Especially in cold weather, steering intermittently developed resistance at center point while in motion - from 30 MPH on up. Steering would not stay pointed straight ahead, would kick off to one side or another. Problem would go away if car was turned off and on, only to reoccur. Problem was diagnosed as internal steering rack fault causing steering shaft to heat up and bind. Solution was to remove and replace entire rack assembly and steering knuckle.
Steering · at 34,000 miles · reported Aug 16, 2019
Upon returning to the car after a rest stop, a red steering wheel symbol appeared in the dashboard along with "do not drive". It got towed to a dealer who reported engine code dtc b2000. Car was 1 month our of warranty. Repair was >$3000 replacing the steering gear and power steering module. This could have been quite bad had it failed while the car was in motion. The car only has about 34,000 miles. This is a serious and in my view potentially dangerous issue. Not to mention expensive.
Steering · at 3,400 miles · reported Jan 21, 2015
Around 3,000 miles I noticed a change in the character of the steering. At times the steering at highway speed would feel very light (Almost like extra boost or assistance) and at other times the steering would be very firm, almost to the point of not moving / tracking naturally while driving. If turned, the wheel would stay in that position. Shortly thereafter the sensation of a "detent" at the center position of steering become progressively more noticeable, ultimately to the point that it would take noticeably extra effort to transition the car from a right turn to a left turn and…
