Date: 05.06.2006
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: Visibility > Windshield Wiper/washer
Manufacturer: Volkswagen Of America,inc
Description:
Vehicle description: passenger vehicles (allroad). when activating the windshield wiper under heavy load conditions such as freezing, snow or heavy rain, one wiper could be delayed behind the other wiper.
Consequencs:
If that happens, the wiper blades, because they overlap wiping areas, could become entangled with each other and cease functioning. this could impair the driver's visibility.
Notes:
Dealers will replace the entire driver side wiper arm. owner notification began june 22, 2001. owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact audi at 1-866-892-2834.

Component: Tires
Manufacturer: Volkswagen Of America,inc
Description:
Certain passenger vehicles equipped with 2.7l engines fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 110, "tire selection and rims." the calculated "vehicle normal load" exceeds the allowable weight of the axle load with tire dimension 225/45r 17 91y by 19kg.
Consequencs:

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.
