AUDI A8
What the hazard is
Fluid from the heating circuit may reach the connector for the engine control unit via the electrical wiring. If the engine control unit fails, the vehicle may break down. If this occurs while the vehicle is in operation, it may create a traffic hazard.
What to do
Audi Australia Pty Ltd is contacting all known owners of affected vehicles. Consumers should contact their nearest Audi Dealer to arrange for inspection and repair.
Defect
On affected vehicles fitted with the 4.2L FSI engine, leaks may occur in the solenoid valve which controls the gearbox heating circuit.
