Audi is recalling 703,172 vehicles of the A4, A5, A6, and Q5 model series manufactured between 2009 and 2017 to authorised workshops worldwide. The reason for the recall is that the EGR reduction via ambient temperature does not comply with Regulation (EC) No. 715/2007 and the ECJ judgements of July 2022 (so-called ‘thermal window’ between 15°C and 33°C).
In an authorised workshop, the software is updated.
