Audi TT recalls

The safety of our customers and the reliability and long-term service life of our models represent our top priority. For this reason Audi conducts programmes to constantly monitor the quality of its products.Extensive analyses have found that the gas generator housing for your vehicle’s front airbag may in extremely rare cases be overloaded and even burst when the front airbag is triggered. If this were to happen small metal parts could become dislodged from the housing and potentially cause life-threatening injury to a vehicle occupant.

Fix: As a precautionary safety measure it is necessary to replace the airbag unit. The work required will take approximately two hours and will of course be performed free of charge. Please note for organisational reasons the Audi Centre may require your vehicle for longer they will advise you of this at the point of booking.

The TT proves to have a relatively narrow handling limit zone if extreme manoeuvres are undertaken at high speed which could lead in the worst case to a precise steering response to retain directional control. Instability and loss of directional control could occur. These characteristics have led to some customers objecting to the cars road behaviour. In an attempt to improve customer satisfaction the cars physical reactions are to be modified so the vehicles behaviour becomes more predictable at the handling limits.

Fix: Likely to be affected vehicles will be recalled for modifications to the suspension settings and the addition of a rear spoiler.
