Moisture can penetrate into the belt starter generator (RSG – Riemen-Starter-Generator).
This can result in a short circuit, leading to local overheating and increased risk of fire.
Due to the permanent power supply of the starter generator, this can occur when the vehicle has already been parked for a while.
The Audi A6 models affected by this recall were equipped with 2.0 TFSI engines and Mild-Hybrid systems and manufactured between May 2017 and March 2020.
