Component: Electrical System
Manufacturer: Volkswagen Of America, Inc
Description:
On certain passenger vehicles equipped with halogen low beam headlights, certain connector pins in the headlight switch connector come into contact with each other causing a short circuit. note: vehicles with xenon low beam headlights are not affected because the circuit in these vehicles contains a fuse, which precludes excessive current flow in the case of a short circuit. audi s6 and s6 avant vehicles are all equipped with xenon low beam headlights and, therefore, are not longer affected by this recall.
Consequencs:
This condition could lead to overheating or fire.
Notes:
Dealers will reroute the wiring harness by installing a jumper wiring harness. the recall began on december 16, 2006. owners may contact audi at 1-800-822-2834.

Component: Fuel System, Gasoline > Storage > Tank Assembly
Manufacturer: Volkswagen Of America, Inc
Description:
Volkswagen is recalling 68,240 my 2001-2004 audi a6 quattro vehicles equipped with 2.7l, 2.8l, or 3.0l engines and my 2001-2005 allroad quattro vehicles equipped with 2.7l or 4.2l engines. the aging of the plastic material in the fuel tank rollover valve combined with bending stress from the aluminum ventilation line to the rollover valve nipple may lead to cracking of the nipple. if this happens, a fuel leak may result.
Consequencs:
A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source could lead to a vehicle fire.
Notes:
Dealers will reinforce the nipple on the rollover valve to prevent leakage or repair the cracking at the nipple. the recall began on june 27, 2008. owners may contact audi at 1-800-822-2834.

Component: Structure > Body > Trunk Lid
Manufacturer: Volkswagen Of America, Inc
Description:
On certain passenger and sport utility vehicles, the automatic rear lid includes an electric motor and clutch that work in conjunction with two gas struts to open and close the rear lid, including a manual close function. if one of the struts has a total loss of pressure, the resultant slow movement of the rear lid is interpreted by the software as an intended manual close and the motor clutch releases to close the rear lid immediately.
Consequencs:
This can result in an unintended rapid closing of the rear lid with a risk of personal injury.
Notes:
Dealers will install new software free of charge. the recall began on september 14, 2007. owners may contact audi at 1-800-822-2834.
