IllustrationI have contacted Audi USA several times regarding the recall on my Audi A3 2016 but it seems that they don't care about the issue and asked me to drive it and nothing will happen.

81 reportsI have received this recall infirmation multiple times with no remedy listed. The warning lights are constantly going on and off which is unnerving not knowing whether my passenger is protected. I drive for a living. It’s affecting my livlihood.

I was recently made aware of a nationwide safety recall for all Audi A3’s 2016 to present. I received a mailer with safety concern and warning for this recall. Audi has not been able to identify the root cause and believe it is more than just the initial air bags/PODS system in the vehicle. This has been in place for some time after I researched the site checking for updates to repair. I am very concerned for my safety along with my families safety when driving my car. My car is the primary vehicle. I use my car for work daily and do not feel comfortable. I am not 100% sure on initial date Audi identified this problem, but it appears earlier this year and it was the second recall for the same issue. They have no fix at this time. I did run my VIN to determine mine being affected and it is. The campaign number on site for this is: NHTSA’s campaign number: 19V474
I CONTACTED AUDI TO FIX THE SAFETY RECALL ON MY CAR, BUT THEY DON'T HAVE THE FIX AND ASKS ME TO DRIVE IT. I DO BUSINESS ON THE CAR AND HAVE FACED LOSS OF INCOME DUE TO THE RECALL.

TOOK MY CAR IN A FEW WEEKS AGO FOR A RECALL REPAIR AFFECTING THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. THE AIRBAG WAS NOT ABLE TO SENSE WHEN THERE WAS A PASSENGER IN THE VEHICLE, AND WOULD RANDOMLY TURN ON/OFF EVEN WHEN THERE WAS A PASSENGER IN THE VEHICLE. HAD THE ERROR MESSAGES POP IMMEDIATELY ON THE WAY HOME FROM THE DEALER AFTER THEIR "FIX". I TOOK IT BACK IN TODAY AND THEY DEALER SAID IT WAS THE ACTUAL PODS SENSOR AND IT WOULD COST $1,100 TO REPAIR! THIS WAS BECAUSE THE RECALL REPAIR ONLY INCLUDED THAT WIRE CONNECTION. I DRIVE MY YOUNGER BROTHER TO SCHOOL EVERY DAY AND DO NOT THINK IT'S FAIR THAT AUDI'S RECALL ONLY FIXED HALF THE PROBLEM - NOW THERE'S NO WAY TO TELL IF THE AIRBAG IS WORKING PROPERLY AND IF MY BROTHER OR ANY OTHER PASSENGER IS SAFE IN THE CAR.
I WENT IN TO GET THE PODS CONNECTOR RECALL WORK DONE. BEFORE THIS WORK WAS DONE THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WOULD GO ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY, HOWEVER, NOW THE PASSENGER AIRBAG IS ALWAYS OFF. THEY ARE SAYING THAT THE CONNECTOR IS A SEPARATE PROBLEM FROM THE WEIGHT SENSOR. THE PODS SYSTEM HAS BEEN RECALLED IN OTHER AUDI MODELS FOR THIS…

THEY ARE SAYING THAT THE CONNECTOR IS A SEPARATE PROBLEM FROM THE WEIGHT SENSOR. THE PODS SYSTEM HAS BEEN RECALLED IN OTHER AUDI MODELS FOR THIS VERY PROBLEM.
THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG IS PERMANENTLY DISABLE, EVEN WHEN A PASSENGER IS SEATED ON IT- IT APPEARS THE SENSOR UNDER THE SEAT DOES IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY.

THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG IS PERMANENTLY DISABLE, EVEN WHEN A PASSENGER IS SEATED ON IT- IT APPEARS THE SENSOR UNDER THE SEAT DOES IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. THIS IS CRITICAL MALFUNCTION AS THE PASSENGER WILL NOT BE PROTECTED IN A COLLISION CASE. ADDITIONALLY, THE SEATBELT LIGHT COMES ON TO FASTEN SEATBELT EVEN WHEN NO ONE IS SAT ON THAT SEAT AND WON'T GO AWAY UNTIL THE BELT IS FASTEN. I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR AUDI TO INCLUDE MY VEHICLE IN THE CURRENT NATIONAL RECALL TO FIX THAT PROBLEM.

1RQ23007 · Fuel Leak Due To Suction Jet Pump Failure Within Fuel Tank (remedy Effectiveness Of Recall 16V647)
Opened Dec 12, 2023 · Closed Jul 1, 2024
Status: closed (inferred from source dates) · Fuel System, Gasoline; Fuel System, Gasoline:storage:evaporative Emissions:canister; Fuel System, Gasoline:storage:tank Assembly
On December 12, 2023, the Office of Defects Investigations (ODI) opened RQ23-007 to investigate the remedy repair effectiveness and scope of Volkswagen (VW) recall 16V-647. Recall 16V-647 was issued on September 2, 2016, for a defective suction jet pump (SJP) inside the fuel tank. Failure of the SJP could lead to a fuel leak from the vehicle. This recall covered certain model year (MY) 2015-2016 Volkswagen Golf and Audi A3 passenger car vehicles. The recall remedy repair replaced SJP Version 1.0 with an improved version, Version 1.1. The SJP is designed to purge fuel from the evaporative emissions (EVAP) system. VW’s recall filing stated the SJP may have been damaged during assembly, which could potentially allow fuel to flow directly into the EVAP system. Over time, the fuel could accumulate in, and cause a leak from, the charcoal canister filter element. ODI received consumer complaints of SJP failure leading to a fuel leak, refueling spit back, refueling shutoff, and/or fuel odor in vehicles previously repaired under recall 16V-647. Additional complaints alleging SJP failure leading to the previously stated outcomes were received in vehicles outside the scope of recall 16V-647, including MY 2016-2020 VW Golf and Audi A3 vehicles. VW issued recall 24V-110 on February 14, 2024, to address issues with SJPs Versions 1.0 and 1.1. The recall remedy replaces the SJP Version 1.0 or 1.1 with an improved version, Version 2.0. Recall 24V-110 covers certain MY 2015-2020 VW Golf (including Golf GTI), 2015-2020 Audi A3, and 2019-2020 VW Jetta GLI vehicles, including vehicle previously repaired under 16V-647. Vehicle owners were notified of this recall in April 2024 and VW’s projected date for owner notification of recall remedy availability is August 2024. In view of the recall being conducted by VW, ODI is closing this Recall Query (RQ). The Agency reserves the right to take additional action if warranted by future circumstances.
