Service bulletins for the 2008 Audi R8

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.

Air filters in vehicles that are driven in unusual conditions (such as on dusty roads or on race circuits) can become dirty more quickly than air filters in vehicles that are only driven in normal conditions. Because the air intake is close to the ground (behind the front wheel), excessive dirt can get into the intake air when the vehicle is driven in unusual conditions.

Although the correct amount of oil was added to the engine during an oil change service, a check of the oil level shows that the oil level is not okay. When an unapproved aftermarket speed-filling device is used to add oil to the engine, the increased oil flow rate may force oil into the intake manifold or combustion chamber, creating the potential for engine damage.
001459202973722023-01-03. Service bulletin. ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING. When oil is drained through the drain plug, the oil might spill on components around the oil pan area.
