2004 Audi TT recalls

Recall 04V-007: Power Train

Reported Jan 6, 2004 · 145 vehicles affected · VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA, INC

Problem: On certain passenger vehicles with direct shift gearbox, during the production of the gearbox, a seam at the clutch was not welded to specifications. This could lead to degraded performance of the clutch inside the gearbox.

Risk: The clutch could lose its ability to provide input torque to the transmission without prior warning, which could allow the vehicle to roll, increasing the risk of a crash.

Fix: Dealers will replace the clutch. Owner notification began on april 30, 2004. Owners should contact audi at 1-800-822-2834.
