Why This Recall Matters
A malfunctioning Audi A6 instrument panel display poses a significant safety risk. If the instrument panel fails to show critical safety information, such as the speedometer, warning lights, or gear selection, drivers may not be aware of their vehicle's status or immediate hazards. This lack of essential information can increase the risk of a crash, compromising vehicle safety.
What's Being Recalled
This recall, identified by NHTSA ID 25V201000 and Audi's internal number 90VC, addresses a software error within the electrical system's instrument cluster/panel. Specifically, the instrument panel display in affected vehicles may fail to operate correctly.
The root cause is a software error that prevents the instrument panel display from functioning as intended.
Manufacturer's Remedy
Audi will resolve this issue by updating the instrument panel module software. This repair will be performed free of charge by authorized Audi dealerships. Owners of affected vehicles will receive notification letters, which were mailed on April 24, 2025, providing instructions on how to proceed. This software update will correct the fault causing the Audi A6 instrument panel display to fail.
