Audi liquid spill in the rear seat, or water ingress from an insufficient body seam underneath the vehicle may allow liquid to penetrate the gateway control module, causing it to shutdown.
The short version
Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. reported a problem with the structure body. Here is what owners need to know.
A liquid spill in the rear seat, or water ingress from an insufficient body seam underneath the vehicle may allow liquid to penetrate the gateway control module, causing it to shutdown.
A gateway control module shutdown will suddenly reduce engine power, increasing the risk of a crash.
Take it to a dealer — they will install a protective cover on the gateway control module and seal an underbody seam as necessary, free of charge.
