Details

What's wrong: Volkswagen group of america, Inc. (Audi) is recalling certain 2022-2024 Q4 E-tron and Q4 E-tron Sportback vehicles. The incorrect headlight control module software may have been installed. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 108, "lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment."

Why it matters: Incorrect headlight control module software may cause the parking lights not to operate as intended when the headlights are turned on and the turn signals are activated, which can reduce vehicle visibility and increase the risk of a crash.

The fix: Dealers will update the headlight control module with a new data set, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed June 6, 2024.
