Service bulletin ATE-14-22
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
The battery test cable on the Midtronics model VAS6161 Battery Tester has been redesigned due to cracking issues found with the battery test clamp (Old Midtronics model A246 battery test cable). A new redesigned VAS6161 battery test cable with redesigned battery test clamp (New Midtronics model A246 battery test cable) is now in production. Audi dealers that have purchased a VAS6161 Battery Tester will be shipped the new redesigned Midtronics model A246 battery test cable free of charge from Snap-On Business Solutions (freight pre-paid). Audi dealers that have multiple VAS6161 units will receive a replacement cable for each VAS6161 tester purchased.
