# Service bulletin ATE\-12\-19

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

Supersedes ATE\-12\-17 dated October 26, 2012 due to incorrect modification picture. Mandatory Inspection for T40173 gearbox mount update conversions Before using the T40173 gearbox mount, it must be checked whether the update exchange of the base carrier and joint mounting \(components marked red\) described in Audi Tools circulars ATE\-08\-16 \(Sept. 4, 2008\) and ATE\-11\-56 \(Nov. 3, 2011\) have been carried out. For clear recognition, the revised components have been coated with yellow chromate for corrosion protection. If the described conversions have not been carried out on your gearbox mount, this can easily be recognized by the color of the surface coating. Gearbox mount components that have not been updated are galvanized as standard ? the surface of all components is silver. We explicitly point out that using the unconverted/unmodified version can lead to personal damages as a result of the prevailing risk of injury.
