Passenger vehicles. In sharp high speed turns or abrupt lane change maneuvers at speeds substantially above posted speed limits, and depending upon road conditions, precise steering response may be demanded to retain directional stability.
💥 The risk
In the event control is lost, a crash may occur resulting in injury.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will replace the front stabilizers in front drive audi tt's and the front and rear stabilizers in audi tt's equipped with quattro drive. A modified control arm will be installed in front together with firmer shock absorbers in front and rear. In addition audi will install a rear spoiler.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
