A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND "DTC" LIGHT CAME ON THE DASH WHILE DRIVING, BUT THE CAR HAD NO SYMPTOMS OF FAULT OTHERWISE. DURING ONE FOLLOWING DAY, I WAS IN THE GARAGE WHERE THE CAR WAS PARKED, WAS NOT RUNNING AND UNLOCKED WITH KEYS INSIDE, AND SMELLED AN ELECTRICAL FIRE. I OPENED THE HOOD AND FOUND A SOFTBALL SIZED FIRE BURNING FROM AN ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR COMING FROM THE SIDE OF THE ENGINE. AFTER PUTTING THE FIRE OUT, I FOUND A BLOWN 'ENGINE MANAGEMENT' FUSE WHICH MAY BE ORIGINALLY TRIGGERED THE DASHBOARD FAULTS. I COULD NOT DISCONNECT THE CONNECTOR BECAUSE IT HAS MELTED TOGETHER, BUT AM HOPING THE BLOWN FUSE WAS FOR THAT CIRCUIT SO NO ELECTRICITY IS FLOWING THROUGH.

14V667000 · Air Bags

Oct 24, 2014

Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. (Volkswagen) is recalling certain model year 2013-2015 Audi A4 and S4 vehicles manufactured February 16, 2012, to October 21, 2014, and 2013-2015 Audi Allroad vehicles manufactured March 12, 2012, to October 21, 2014. Due to an improper algorithm in the air bag control module, if a crash necessitates deployment of the side air bags, a second impact to the front of the vehicle may not command the front air bags to also deploy.

Consequence & remedy

Consequence: If the front air bags do not deploy in the event of a secondary impact to the front of the vehicle, there is an increased risk of occupant injury.

Remedy: Volkswagen will notify owners, and Audi dealers will update the air bag control unit software, free of charge. The recall began on November 14, 2014. Owners may contact Audi customer service at 1-800-822-2834. Volkswagen's number for this recall is 69K5.
