2001 Audi A6

On certain vehicles, aging of the plastic material in the fuel tank rollover valve, combined with bending stress from the aluminium ventilation line to the rollover valve nipple, may lead to cracking of the nipple.  If this happens, a fuel leak may result.  Fuel leakage, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a vehicle fire.  Correction: Dealers will reinforce the rollover valve nipple.

On certain Audi A6 Quattro and Allroad Quattro, aging of the plastic material in the fuel tank rollover valve, combined with bending stress from the aluminium ventilation line to the rollover valve nipple, may lead to cracking of the nipple.  If this happens, a fuel leak may result.  Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source could result in a vehicle fire.  Correction: Dealers will reinforce the rollover valve nipple.

On certain Audi S6, A6 and A6 Allroad Quattro, contact between the left driver's side crash element and the headlight switch wiring harness could eventually result in an electrical short.  Even though such an electrical short is not very likely, it could result, in a worst-case scenario, in a fire originating in the left dashboard area.  Correction:  Dealer will install a protective covering on the crash element and inspect the wiring harness for damage.

Certain vehicles equipped with a 2.7L engine are not in compliance with CMVSS 110.  The calculated "Vehicle Normal Load" exceeds the allowable weight of the axle load with tire dimension 225/45R17 by 19 kg.  Correction:  Dealer will install five proper sized tires.

On certain Audi A6 Allroad, activating the windshield wiper under heavy load conditions such as freezing, snow or heavy rain, one wiper could be delayed behind the other wiper. If that happens, the wiper blades, because they overlap wiping areas, could become entangled with each other and cease functioning. This could impair the driver's visibility. Correction: Dealers will replace the entire driver side wiper arm.
