#
1
Make(s):
AUDI
Model(s):
80, 90, QUATTRO
Year(s):
1990
Manufacturer:
VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA,INC
NHTSA ID:
90V070000
Recall Date:
n/a
Units Affected:
6,600

Affected Component: Steering:column locking:anti-theft device.

Summary: Improperly manufactured steering lock bolts could break if driver applies excessive force to a locked steering wheel in an attempt to disengage the steering lock. .

Conequence: Bolt breakage would cause steering wheel to remain locked even after the driver turns the ignition key and attempts to move the car; this total loss of steering control could result in an accident. .

Remedy: Replace complete steering lock assembly, including a modified lock bolt. .

Notes: System: steering lock bolts. Vehicle description: passenger cars equipped with air bags. .

Manufacturer:
VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA,INC
NHTSA ID:
93V006000
Recall Date:
n/a
Units Affected:
152,000

Affected Component: Power train:axle assembly.

Summary: The differential oil of the transaxle is lost over time due to evaporation. Low oil levels cause premature bearing and gear wear and eventual failure of the differential. .

Conequence: In the event of failure, the vehicle's drive wheels couldlose power. In extreme circumstances, the front wheels lock, causing rapiddeceleration resulting in possible loss of vehicle control and an accident. .

Remedy: Drain and replace the differential gear oil with oil having higher performance characteristics. .

Notes: System: power train. Vehicle description: passenger cars with automatic 3-speed transmissions. .

Affected Component: Air bags:frontal:sensor/control module-inactive.

Summary: Vehicle description: passenger vehicles. Some air bag sensors do not comply with audi's durability standards over the lifetime of the vehicle. .

Conequence: In the event the sensor should malfunction, the air bag restraint system can inadvertently deploy. Deployment of the air bag restraint system without warning could cause a driver to lose vehicle control. .

Remedy: Dealers will replace the air bag sensor control module. .

Notes: Owner notification began october 13, 1997. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact audi at 1-800-822-2834.
