Volkswagen Group of America is recalling approximately 50,883 Audi vehicles, including certain 2019-2022 A6 and A7 models, as well as S6, S7, RS6, and RS7 variants. Liquid spilled in the rear seat area can seep into the gateway control module, causing it to shut down. This failure results in a sudden reduction of engine power, which can occur while driving and significantly increases the risk of a collision. To fix this issue, Audi dealers will install a protective cover over the control module free of charge.
If liquid is spilled in the rear seat, it can penetrate the gateway control module and cause it to short circuit or shut down. This leads to an immediate loss of engine power, making it difficult for the driver to maintain speed or safely maneuver the vehicle in traffic.
