Service bulletin ATE-13-17
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
Microsoft support of the Windows XP® operating system ends April 8, 2014. From this date onwards, all commercial and consumer based computing devices that continue to run on Windows XP may be exposed to potential security and vulnerability risks. As Windows XP operating system function and performance shortcomings that result from security and vulnerability issues will no longer be resolved by Microsoft, we recommend that applicable VAS diagnostic devices migrate to the Windows 7® operating system. We informed and previewed the entire migration process in our USA Audi Dealer Communication email of October 30. The Dealer Communication also specified that VAS 5051B diagnostic consoles and VAS 5052A diagnostic tablets are not capable of Windows 7 migration, and that migration is not recommended or supported on VAS 6150 diagnostic laptops due to potential performance issues. The Audi Special Tool & Equipment program is committed to assisting. Over the last months we have worked to provide affordable, flexible options for replacement device purchases. We are pleased to announce the results of our efforts with this document. The special pricing and purchase option programs described in the following sections are in effect for orders placed from November 1, 2013 through March 1, 2014.

Listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned: the document says which.
