Audi A3: Engine

Affects Audi A3 · 2017–2018 — about 497 vehicles.

The hazard

On certain vehicles, during engine start-up or low RPMs, the engine air/fuel burning stability strategy may not be robust enough. This could cause the system to misinterpret conditions as the dual mass flywheel begins to rotate, which could result in a loss of motive power, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will update vehicle software.

What to do

Contact your dealer; the remedy details were not included in the filing.
