Consistent with general Audi corporate policy governing Updates, Audi is not notifying
consumers. (Updates differ from recalls and service actions; consumers are notified in
writing of recalls and service actions.) Each vehicle should be completed when it is in to
the dealer for maintenance or any other service visit. Dealer stock vehicles cannot,
however, be delivered to consumers until the Update is completed.

the “New and CPO Inventory Open Campaign/Action Listing” report from the AIM

Please ensure that every affected vehicle gets the update before delivery to
consumers. Your effort is integral in reaching the highest quality expectations of Audi
customers.
Thank you for your cooperation and assistance in this important matter.
