## 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.
