Service bulletin 24CO

A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it. The summary is NHTSA's. The document is the manufacturer's: read it at NHTSA. A bulletin is not a recall, and listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned.

NHTSA's summary

ON CERTAIN AUDI VEHICLES WITH A 3.0L TFSI ENGINE MANUFACTURED DURING A SPECIFIC PERIOD, THE DIAGNOSTIC THRESHOLDS FOR THE CATALYTIC CONVERTERS WERE PROGRAMMED TOO TIGHTLY IN THE ENGINE CONTROL UNIT. AS A RESULT, THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT (MIL) MAY COME ON EVEN THOUGH THE CATALYTIC CONVERTERS ARE WORKING PROPERLY. IF THE MIL IS ON, A VEHICLE WILL NOT PASS AN EMISSIONS INSPECTION.
