2019-2022 Audi A6 / A6 allroad Fuel Gauge Recall

Why This Matters: Risk of Engine Stall

An inaccurate fuel level reading in your instrument cluster can have serious consequences. If the fuel gauge displays a higher fuel level than what is actually in the tank, the vehicle could run out of fuel unexpectedly. This can lead to an engine stall, increasing the risk of a crash, especially if it occurs at high speeds or in heavy traffic.

What's Being Recalled

Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. (Audi) is recalling certain 2019-2022 Audi A6 and 2022 Audi A6 allroad vehicles. The issue stems from the fuel level sender, which may stick and provide an incorrect fuel level display. This recall is identified by NHTSA campaign number 22V155000 and Audi's internal number 20DN.
