AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)10/20 Report--

A few days ago, FAW-Volkswagen Co., Ltd. filed the recall plan with the State Administration of Market Supervision and Administration in accordance with the requirements of the regulations on the Administration of defective Automobile products recall and the measures for the implementation of defective Automobile products recall. It was decided to recall some imported and domestic Audi cars from October 22, 2021. The details are as follows:

(1) 1785 imported A6 Avant 2.0T and A72.0T vehicles produced from September 9, 2020 to May 5, 2021; and (2) some domestic A6L 2.0T vehicles produced from March 18, 2020 to August 11, 2021, a total of 102425 vehicles.

For the vehicles within the scope of this recall, due to the problem of software coordination between the engine and the gearbox control unit, when the vehicle shifts from first gear to second gear at a lower speed, if the driver suddenly changes his driving intention to release the throttle pedal, the "engine stall protection mechanism" will be triggered in the shift process, resulting in an increase in engine output torque and a slight increase in engine speed. There may be a sudden increase in speed of 3-5km/h within 1-2 seconds, which will increase the possibility of accidents and lead to safety risks.

FAW-Volkswagen Automobile Co., Ltd. will entrust Audi authorized dealers to upgrade the engine control unit and transmission control unit software for vehicles within the recall range free of charge to eliminate safety risks.

The recall was carried out under the circumstances that the State Administration of Market Supervision and Administration launched a defect investigation. Affected by the investigation, FAW-Volkswagen decided to take recall measures to eliminate safety risks.
