Service bulletin Dealer Letter -
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
Due to a process fault, the gearbox was filled with ATF fluid containing sulphur on Audi vehicles with multritronic manufactured within a specific period. As a result, a copper sulphide layer may form on the conductor tracks of the gearbox control unit and cause electrical faults. Drain and flush the gearbox and replace the multitronic unit.
