Audi A6 Sedan

Issue: 
On certain vehicles, the rear outboard seat belts may contain defective automatic locking retractors (ALR). As a result, the seat belts may not work properly to secure a child seat. 
Note: The vehicle's lower universal anchorage system (UAS) is not affected by this defect and may still be used to secure a child seat. 

Safety Risk: 
A seat belt that is used to secure a child restraint but isn't properly locked could increase the risk of injury in a crash. 

Corrective Actions: 
Audi will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to inspect and, if necessary, replace the rear outboard seat belt(s).

Issue: 
On certain vehicles, a software problem could cause the rearview camera image not to appear on the display. Canadian regulations require the rearview image to display when the transmission is shifted into reverse gear. 

Safety Risk: 
A rearview camera image that doesn't display could reduce a driver's ability to see behind the vehicle while backing up. This could increase the risk of a crash. 

Corrective Actions: 
Audi will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to update the rearview camera software.

Issue:  
On certain vehicles, a problem with the instrument cluster (virtual cockpit) could cause it to shut down. If this happens, you may not be able to see certain information about the vehicle, including the speedometer, warnings, and tell-tales.  
 
Safety Risk:  
Warnings, tell-tales and gauges that don't display could increase the risk of a crash.  
 
Corrective Actions:  
Audi will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to update the instrument cluster software.

Issue: 
Certain vehicles were built with a European-specification brake fluid reservoir cap instead of the correct North American cap. Canadian regulations require specific information to be provided on the brake fluid cap. 

Safety Risk: 
This small error is unlikely to affect safety. 

Corrective Actions: 
This is not a recall. The company will install the correct brake fluid reservoir cap on all new (unsold) vehicles.

Issue: 
On certain vehicles, if you spill liquid on the rear seat, the gateway control module could be damaged. If this happens, the vehicle may enter emergency mode and suddenly lose power to the wheels. 
Note: The power steering and braking systems will continue to work. You may also see warning messages on the instrument panel when this happens. 
 
Safety Risk: 
A sudden loss of power to the wheels may increase the risk of a crash.

Corrective Actions: 
Audi will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to install a protective cover on the gateway control module.
