POSSIBLE LOSS OF VEHICLE SAFETY FEATURES
The ignition switch may unintentionally change position while driving. This may result in a loss of engine power power steering assist power brake assist or disable the airbag function.
On affected vehicles replace the ignition switch and lock cylinder
REDUCTION OF BRAKING EFFICIENCY
An error in production of the brake master cylinder may cause a reduction in braking efficiency.
Replace the brake master cylinder on affected vehicles.
POSSIBLE LOSS OF VEHICLE SAFETY FEATURES
The ignition switch may unintentionally change position while driving. This may result in a loss of engine power power steering assist power brake assist or disable the airbag function.
On affected vehicles replace the ignition switch and lock cylinder
VEHICLE MAY STALL
A potentially faulty weld between the plate carrier and the hub of a clutch could be faulty/cracked and could fail. This can cause limp-home mode to be adopted or all drive to be lost. As a result the risk of a collision is heightened.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the dual clutch of the transmission.

RISK OF FIRE
The Cargo-Box retaining bracket may become loose and dislodge.This may allow the exhaust to overheat a seat panel and may lead to fire. THE MANUFACTURER ADVISES NOT TO USE THE MACHINE.
On affected machines replace the Cargo-Box retaining Bracket.

SEAT MAY NOT PERFORM AS EXPECTED DURING A COLLISION
The seat may not remain in position when subjected to greater than normal driving forces such as those involved in an impact. This may possibly cause injury to the driver/passenger seated in the right hand front seat. The right hand front seat guides may not conform to design specification and installation specifications.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and check the installation of the original seat guide. If it does not conform replace the seat cushion structure (guide).

AIRBAG MAY DEPLOY INCORRECTLY
In the event of a significant frontal collision the driver's airbag may not deploy correectly due to a non-conformity which occurred in the supplier's production process. The airbag when deployed may cause injury to the driver due to contaminated parts within the airbag module.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the airbag inflator.
THIRD ROW SEATS MAY DEFORM IN EVENT OF A COLLISION
On Audi Q7 vehicles with 7 seats manufactured within a specific period the indentations on the cross piece of the third row of seats were not made correctly. As a result the third row seat structure may deform in the event of an accident.
A support bracket must be retrofitted on the vehicles affected.
FUEL MAY LEAK / RISK OF FIRE
The vehicles are equipped with a fuel evaporative emission control unit (canister) assembled to the fuel tank. There is a possibility that a crack could develop on the resin channel for the emission gas flow due to an improper shape of the channel edge at that location. The crack could expand over time and eventually fuel may leak from the crack when the vehicle has a full tank. Fuel or fuel vapour in the presence of an ignition source could increase the risk of a vehicle fire
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the fuel suction plate sub-assembly.

PANORAMIC SUNROOF MAY DETACH
The front panel of the panoramic sunroof may not have been bonded correctly which can lead to rattling noises during a journey. If the loosening front panel is not detected this poses a potential danger for the following traffic.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the front panel of the panoramic sunroof.
STEERING WHEEL MAY BREAK/DETACH AND CAUSE LOSS OF STEERING
Due to an error in production cracks may form in the steering wheel. This could compromise the strength of the steering wheel and in extreme conditions may detach.
On affected vehicles inspect the steering wheel and replace where necessary.
BONNET CATCH MAY FAIL
Due to an incorrect tightening operation in the production plant the locking function of the hood might not work correctly. This may allow the bonnet to open whilst the vehicle is in motion
On affected vehicles check tightness of securing bolts and replace where necessary
CURTAIN SHIELD AIRBAG MAY DEPLOY UNINTENTIONALLY
On affected vehicles the curtain side air bag inflator may have a crack in a weld. If this crack propagates gas may leak and in certain conditions partially in inflate the air bag.
On affected vehicles install retention brackets on the curtain shield air bag inflators.

BRAKING PERFORMANCE MAY BE REDUCED
Anomalies in the manufacturing process have resulted in certain batches of hand brake cylinders with defective machining. This can lead to early wear of the sealing cup in the hand brake cylinder thus leading to impaired braking performance.
Recall the machines that are likely to be affected and check the batch number of the hand brake cylinder. If the batch number appears on the affected list replace the hand brake cylinder.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM MAY FAIL
The electronic stability control (ESC) unit may have not have been manufactured to the correct specification. This may cause the control unit to malfunction during operation
On affected vehicles check the ESC unit and where necessary replace.
