The steering column cannot be locked. The vehicle cannot be locked with the remote. A warning appears in the DIS indicating that the key must be removed from the ignition, but the key has already been removed. DTCs may be logged in the onboard supply control module. The locking cylinder for the ignition lock is stiff because of internal dimensional tolerance issues. The S-contact in the ignition switch does not open due to various manufacturing issues.","document":{"url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2014/MC-10124738-9999.pdf","alternate_url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2014/MC-10124738-0001.pdf","confirmed":false},"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/bulletins/10124738","components":[{"id":"electrical","name":"Electrical system","parent":null},{"id":"ignition","name":"Ignition","parent":"electrical"}],"codes":[],"topics":[],"vehicles":[{"make":"AUDI","model":"A3","year_from":2012,"year_to":2013,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2012_audi_a3","2013_audi_a3"]},{"make":"AUDI","model":"A3","year_from":2014,"year_to":2014,"match":null,"vehicle_ids":[]},{"make":"AUDI","model":"A3 CABRIOLET","year_from":2015,"year_to":2015,"match":null,"vehicle_ids":[]},{"make":"AUDI","model":"Q3","year_from":2015,"year_to":2015,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2015_audi_q3"]},{"make":"AUDI","model":"R8","year_from":2013,"year_to":2013,"match":null,"vehicle_ids":[]},{"make":"AUDI","model":"R8 GT SPYDER","year_from":2012,"year_to":2012,"match":null,"vehicle_ids":[]},{"make":"AUDI","model":"TT ROADSTER","year_from":2012,"year_to":2013,"match":null,"vehicle_ids":[]}],"as_of":"2026-10-19","note":"A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it.
