A911376 2033032-2017-11-17. Service bulletin. EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL; ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL. Call quality using the hands-free function is poor. Additionally, voice-activated functions may be restricted. The driver sounds muffled. The voice of the driver is quiet. The driver's voice is accompanied by background interference. Voice activated commands are not recognized. Various malfunctions can result from the normal airflow out of center instrument panel vents that are directed upward at the microphones in the roof module, which can limit microphone sensitivity.
A851314 2033428-2017-11-17. Service bulletin. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL. The instrument panel vents cannot be adjusted. The knob may be broken. The force required to adjust the vent is greater than the attachment strength of the knob. As a result, the knob may break.
A911517 2042013-2017-11-17. Service bulletin. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL. While using Audi connect, the customer cannot access the online destination search and/or the Google Earth navigation view. ?This service is currently unavailable. Please try again later" message appears in the MMI. The customer may also see an error message in the myAudi portal indicating that one or multiple licenses are expired and must be renewed. Replacing the SIM card or MMI hardware or performing the SVM recovery activation will not remedy the concern.
A171568 2028440-2017-11-17. Service bulletin. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL; FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY. Supersedes Technical Service Bulletin Group 17 number 14-49 dated April 3, 2014. When the vehicle is completely refueled, the vehicle range (?distance to empty?) that is displayed is different than the vehicle range that was displayed the last time the vehicle was completely refueled. The displayed vehicle range drops inconsistently. After the vehicle is refueled, the displayed vehicle range does not change for a long period of time. When the vehicle is driven on hilly roads for a long period of time, the displayed vehicle range suddenly changes by a significant amount. There are no DTCs related to fuel senders stored in the instrument cluster control module, J285 (address word 17). This condition does not involve or affect the accuracy of the fuel level indicator, but only the estimated distance to empty display on the on-board computer.
A461488 2037761-2017-11-08. Service bulletin. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL. Customer may report that the engine cannot be switched off with warnings on in the instrument cluster (e.g., ABS/ESP).
