Audi wiring harness for the rear lights could be missing the anti-abrasion protection in the area of the spare wheel well.
The short version
Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. reported a problem with the electrical system. Here is what owners need to know.
The wiring harness for the rear lights could be missing the anti-abrasion protection in the area of the spare wheel well.
Without the scuff protection, the wires may become damaged during a rear crash, disabling the doors from being opened from the outside, causing a loss of hazard lights, and increasing the risk of injury.
Audi will notify owners, and dealers will apply scuff protection, free of charge.
