Label

Transport Canada recall 2023068 · manufacturer campaign 50G5

15 February 2023

Transport Canada lists: Q 7 2011–2015

What is wrong

On certain vehicles equipped with 21" wheels, the compliance label lists a gross axle weight rating (GAWR) for the rear axle that's too high. The label should list the rear axle capacity as 1770 kg (3902 lb.). This could lead you to overload the vehicle.

Why it matters

Overloading the vehicle could increase the risk of a crash.

What the dealer will do

Audi will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealership to install a label with the correct rear axle GAWR.

Transport Canada lists: Q 5 2013–2017 · Q 7 2013–2015

What is wrong

What the dealer will do

Dealers will apply a butyl protective film to the fuel pump flange. If cracks are present, the fuel pump flange will be replaced. Note: This is an expansion of recall 2016-443.

26 August 2014

Transport Canada lists: Q 7 2013

What is wrong

On certain vehicles equipped with a 3.0L TDI engine, a contaminated check valve may allow engine oil to enter the brake booster. Over time, this could degrade the brake booster diaphragm and cause it to rupture, affecting power assist brake performance and potentially causing a complete loss of power assist, resulting in increased brake pedal effort. An unexpected increase in pedal effort could increase the risk of a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury the risk of a crash.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will inspect the brake booster system for oil contamination and replace a vacuum line, as necessary.
