USA | 2022 | 2022 | E-TRON GT | 920 |
CAN | 2022 | 2022 | E-TRON GT | 202 |
Problem Description
The units for the values of the tire pressure table in the owner’s manual (kPa and PSI) were assigned to the wrong columns and therefore do not match the actual numbers. The tire pressure values on the B-pillar “Tire and Loading Information” label are correct; however, if a customer tries to inflate the tires solely according to the tire pressure table in the owner’s manual, the tires could be either over- or under-inflated, which could lead to a negative effect on driving stability, potentially causing a loss of vehicle control which might lead to a crash.
Corrective Action
Provide an owner’s manual insert with the corrected tire pressure table. Audi will be mailing this owner’s manual insert to customers along with the recall notification letter. Dealers with affected vehicles in inventory are asked to follow the work instructions in this circular to ensure that this supplement is included with the glove box literature/owner manual of each affected inventory vehicle.
Code Visibility
On or about February 25, 2022, the campaign code will be applied to affected vehicles.
Owner Notification
Owner notification will take place in March 2022. Owner letter examples are included in this bulletin for your reference.

Chronology :
November 2021: Audi of America informed Audi AG that they found a mistake within the owner’s manual regarding the tire pressure table. An immediate investigation was started and the topic was submitted to the Audi Product Safety Committee.
November 2021 – January 2022: A Stop-Order was issued for all vehicles still in the port and the factory. The online owner´s manual was corrected and a supplement with the corrected tire pressure table was issued and attached to the owner’s manual in production. Vehicles still in the port and in the factory also received the owner´s manual insert. Affected scope of vehicles in the field was verified and the topic was discussed with the North American market regarding regulatory requirements and possible impacts. Evaluation found that FMVSS 110 regulates the so called B-pillar label, which is correct in this matter and referenced in the owner’s manual as the source for tire pressures. However, 49 CFR § 575.6(a)(4) requires an information for the customer regarding the correct tire pressure. Risk assessment for the possibility to fill in the wrong tire pressure by the customer.
February 09, 2022: Although there is no FMVSS non-compliance and the tire pressure label on the B-pillar is correct, the Audi Product Safety Committee decides a voluntary recall in order to provide customers with an updated correct tire pressure table.
Audi is not aware of any customer complaints, warranty records, crashes or injuries due to this issue.

Problem Description The units for the values of the tire pressure table in the owner’s manual (kPa and PSI) were assigned to the wrong columns and therefore do not match the actual numbers. The tire pressure values on the B-pillar “Tire and Loading Information” label are correct; however, if a customer tries to inflate the tires solely according to the tire pressure table in the owner’s manual, the tires could be either over- or under-inflated, which could lead to a negative effect on driving stability, potentially causing a loss of vehicle control which might lead to a crash. Corrective Action Provide an owner’s manual insert with the corrected tire pressure table. Audi will be mailing this owner’s manual insert to customers along with the recall notification letter. Dealers with affected vehicles in inventory are asked to follow the work instructions in this circular to ensure that this supplement is included with the glove box literature/owner manual of each affected inventory vehicle.

Audi has decided that certain 2022 model year Audi vehicles fail to conform to 49 CFR § 575.6(a)(4) that requires information for the customer regarding the correct tire pressures. Our records show that you are the owner of a vehicle affected by this action. What is the issue? The units for the values of the tire pressure table in the owner’s manual (kPa and PSI) were assigned to the wrong columns and therefore do not match the actual numbers. The tire pressure values on the B-pillar “Tire and Loading Information” label are correct; however, if a customer tries to inflate the tires solely according to the tire pressure table in the owner’s manual, the tires could be either over- or under-inflated, which could lead to a negative effect on driving stability, potentially causing a loss of vehicle control which might lead to a crash. What will we do? To correct this noncompliance, we have enclosed an owner’s manual insert that contains the corrected information regarding tire pressures. We ask you to please review this information and keep it with your vehicle owner’s manual for future reference. If you prefer to visit your authorized Audi dealer to have them place this insert in your vehicle, you are welcome to schedule an appointment. This work will take just a few minutes for your dealer to complete and will be performed for you free of charge. Please keep in mind that your dealer may need additional time for the preparation of the repair, as well as to accommodate their daily workshop schedule. What should you do?

Audi determinó que ciertos vehículos Audi modelo 2022 no cumplen con el título 49 del Código de Regulaciones Federales (CFR), Sección 575.6(a)(4) en cuanto a la información sobre la presión de los neumáticos. Nuestros registros muestran que usted es propietario de un vehículo afectado por esta acción. ¿Cuál es el problema? Las unidades para los valores de la tabla de presión de los neumáticos en el manual del propietario (kPA y PSI) no se asignaron a las columnas correctas y por lo tanto no concuerdan con los números reales. Los valores de la presión de los neumáticos en la etiqueta del pilar B “Información sobre los neumáticos y la carga” son correctos pero, si un cliente trata de inflar los neumáticos únicamente de acuerdo con la tabla de presión de los neumáticos en el manual del propietario, los neumáticos podrían no inflarse lo suficiente o inflarse demasiado, lo cual podría ocasionar un efecto negativo en la estabilidad de manejo, lo que haría que el conductor pierda el control del vehículo y choque. ¿Qué vamos a hacer? Para corregir este incumplimiento adjuntamos un inserto al manual del propietario que contiene la información corregida en cuanto a la presión de los neumáticos. Le pedimos que revise esta información y que la guarde con el manual del propietario de su vehículo para consultarla posteriormente. Si prefiere visitar su concesionaria autorizada Audi para que coloquen el inserto en su vehículo, puede programar una cita. Este trabajo le tomará a su concesionaria solo unos minutos y se realizará de forma gratuita. Tenga en cuenta que su concesionaria puede necesitar más tiempo para preparar la reparación, así como para adaptar el cronograma diario del taller. ¿Qué debe hacer usted? Comuníquese de inmediato con su concesionaria autorizada de Audi para programar esta reparación por llamado a revisión.

An immediate investigation was started and the topic was submitted to the Audi Product Safety Committee. November 2021 – January 2022: A Stop-Order was issued for all vehicles still in the port and the factory. The online owner´s manual was corrected and a supplement with the corrected tire pressure table was issued and attached to the owner’s manual in production. Vehicles still in the port and in the factory also received the owner´s manual insert. Affected scope of vehicles in the field was verified and the topic was discussed with the North American market regarding regulatory requirements and possible impacts. Evaluation found that FMVSS 110 regulates the so called B-pillar label, which is correct in this matter and referenced in the owner’s manual as the source for tire pressures. However, 49 CFR § 575.6(a)(4) requires an information for the customer regarding the correct tire pressure. Risk assesment for the possibility to fill in the wrong tire pressure by the customer. February 09, 2022: Although there is no FMVSS non-compliance and the tire pressure label on the B-pillar is correct, the Audi Product Safety Committee decides a voluntary recall in order to provide customers with an updated correct tire pressure table. Audi is not aware of any customer complaints, warranty records, crashes or injuries due to this issue.

How Remedy Component Differs from Recalled Component : The remedy component is an owner’s manual insert providing the corrected table for the tire pressure values. It can be distinguished from the recalled component because it is labeled as an addendum/insert to the owner’s manual. Identify How/When Recall Condition was Corrected in Production : Vehicles produced after December 06, 2021 have received the owner’s manual insert consisting of the corrected tire pressure table. Model year 2023 vehicles will receive a corrected owner’s manual as part of the normal production process.
