Audi A3 and Q2 RHD: Failure of the engine, the instrument cluster or the lights

12/09/2023

Audi is recalling 137,573 right-hand drive A3 and Q2 vehicles built between 2019 and 2023 to workshops worldwide. The reason for the recall is the incorrect installation of the plug connection on the supply line for the fuse carrier. This can come loose and subsequently lead to a failure of the engine, the instrument cluster or the lighting.

In the workshop, the plug connection of the fuse box is checked on the affected vehicles. The KBA monitors the measure under the reference number “013099” and the internal manufacturer code is “97HO“.
