150,000 Audi A6s and A7s are recalled due to a faulty fuel gauge

The Audi A6 and A7 may run out of gas, even though the fuel gauge will still show plenty of fuel.

Audi recalls more than 150,000 A6 and A7 model series vehicles to authorised workshops worldwide. The vehicles were manufactured between April 2018 and May 2021. The affected models are:

• 2021 Audi RS6 Avant, RS7
• 2020-2021 A6 Allroad, S6 Sedan, S7
• 2019-2021 A6 Sedan a A7

According to Audi, the distance between the fuel level sensor and the tank vent pipe may be too small, and the fuel level sensor may become stuck. As a result, a drop in fuel level is not detected, and the fuel level and remaining range are not displayed correctly in the instrument cluster display. In December 2020, Audi customers began complaining that they had run out of fuel even though the gauge said the tank was half full.

The fuel level sensors on the affected vehicles will be replaced at an authorised workshop, which should eliminate the problem. The internal code for this recall is “20DN“.

Just a few days ago, some Audi models, along with other VW Group vehicles, were recalled due to an incorrectly fitted engine cover. We write about it in the article VW, Audi, Skoda, Seat: More than 111,000 cars at risk of fire
