The wire coil profile used in the radiator tank seal may be deformed due to the very variable temperatures within the engine compartment.
Over time, and under unfavorable conditions, this could lead to the radiator seal coming loose. A loose radiator seal could come into contact with hot components in the engine compartment as a result of vibrations during driving. This could lead to the seal and, potentially, neighboring components starting to smolder, increasing the risk of fire.
The Audi S8 and S8+ models affected by this recall were manufactured between June 2010 and July 2018.

What should an owner do if there's a recall?
Please note that the recall may not apply to all vehicles produced in a given period.

You can use our sample request text. After reporting the vehicle's VIN code, you will find out if the defect is present on your car, or if it has already been resolved by the previous owner if the car was purchased second-hand.
