2016 Audi A6 Fuel Propulsion System Problems, Complaints and Defects

Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Audi recalled 2012-2015 a6 cars with the 2. 0l tfsi engine, along with other audi models, due to faulty coolant/water pump (nhtsa recall # 18v-229 mfg recall #19n3/19n4). For the a6, the bracketing was for cars built from 4/4/2011 - 12/22/2014. The bracketing for other models impacted by the recalled varied from 2012-2017. My a6 2. 0 was built in feb 2015, but was classified as a 2016 model. On 8/28/2019 my check engine light turned on. I took the car into my audi dealership for servicing. The technician stated that i had a defective coolant/water pump, and that the pump was about to burst and needed immediate replacement. I was aware of the recall, and asked if the pump on my car was similar to the pumps covered under the recall, which they confirmed the pump part number on my car matched the pump part number that was being recalled. However, since my car was classified as a 2016, it was not covered under the recall. It appears that the bracketing that was used to determine which cars should be covered under the recall was not broad enough for the a6 models, as it appears that the defective pumps were also used on some 2016 a6 models or cars built after 12/22/2014.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
