Service bulletins for the 2012 Audi A6
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.

| DC_Alternator | 2023-01-06. Service bulletin. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:ALTERNATOR/GENERATOR/REGULATOR. Support for Customers Affected by Alternator Back-order |
|---|---|
| DC_RECALLS | 2023-01-06. Service bulletin. EQUIPMENT:OTHER:OWNERS/SERVICE/OTHER MANUAL. SAFETY RECALLS, COMPLIANCE RECALLS and STOP SALES |
| A572200202203210 | 2023-01-06. Service bulletin. LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LOCK. This technical service bulletin provides troubleshooting information for the vehicle locking system. |
| 001138820337661 | 2023-01-03. Service bulletin. EQUIPMENT:OTHER:OWNERS/SERVICE/OTHER MANUAL. Repair Authorization. |
| 011468202773213 | 2023-01-03. Service bulletin. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. No leaks found in the EVAP system. Software update needed. |
| 01146320336302 | 2023-01-03. Service bulletin. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. Because there are a number of different misfire faults (unrelated to ignition coil operation) that could cause the MIL to illuminate, proper Guided Fault Finding (GFF) misfire diagnosis must be followed before any ignition coils are replaced. |
| 01146220361693 | 2023-01-03. Service bulletin. FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL; ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING. In tank, fuel pump may be making a straining noise. Diesel fuel requires additive blending or ?winterization? to be useable at low temperatures. At temperatures below 20° F (-7° C), No. 2 Diesel with insufficient winterization blending may lose its fluidity due to wax separation. This may clog the fuel filter or in-tank filter, preventing the engine from operating properly. No. 2 Diesel is blended by refineries to various levels of winterization (minimum useable temperature) based on month, geographical location, and the 10th percentile minimum ambient air temperature for the given region. Although rare, during sudden periods of extreme low temperatures (record lows), fuel stations may not be adequately prepared with No. 2 Diesel fuel with sufficient winterization to resist wax formation or ?gelling?. |

| 01145320264832 | 2023-01-03. Service bulletin. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. The vehicle is in transport mode. |
| 01145220293407 | 2023-01-03. Service bulletin. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. The faults listed above are caused by an incorrect software setting and can occur under certain driving conditions. In some scenarios, such as extended idling or heavy stop-and-go traffic, a slight misinterpretation of the data can occur and the MIL may be activated. |
| 01145120305808 | 2023-01-03. Service bulletin. EQUIPMENT; ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. The remote key being used is transmitting incomplete immobilizer information to the vehicle, resulting in the condition. |
| 01140320332233 | 2023-01-03. Service bulletin. ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING. The programmed values for the misfiring recognition are not automatically reset by deleting the memory once. |

| 01138620336301 | 2023-01-03. Service bulletin. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. Because there are a number of different misfire faults (unrelated to ignition coil operation) that could cause the MIL to illuminate, proper Guided Fault Finding (GFF) misfire diagnosis must be followed before any ignition coils are replaced. |
| 011385202773210 | 2023-01-03. Service bulletin. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM; ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:SOFTWARE. no leak in EVAP system. New software in the ECM addressed the condition. |
| 01138420277329 | 2023-01-03. Service bulletin. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM; ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING. no leak in EVAP system. New software in the ECM addressed the condition. |

| 01137120277328 | 2023-01-03. Service bulletin. ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECU/ECM). New software in the engine control module, J623 (01) addressed the condition. |
| 01136620314583 | 2023-01-03. Service bulletin. ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:EMISSION CONTROL:CRANKCASE (PCV). Under extreme driving conditions, such as a driving profile of mainly short distance (stop and go) driving high crankcase pressure can lead to the above described DTC codes. |
| 01134520314584 | 2023-01-03. Service bulletin. ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:EMISSION CONTROL:CRANKCASE (PCV). Under extreme driving conditions (such short-distance, stop-and-go driving), high crankcase pressure can cause the DTCs to appear. |
| 01132920332232 | 2023-01-03. Service bulletin. ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING; ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECU/ECM). The programmed values for the misfiring recognition are not automatically reset by deleting the memory once. |
