| Description of the problem | I have just been told today that audi previously issued a recall, their number 19m1, for these cars including my car (2. 0t engine) to reprogram the auxiliary coolant pump to prevent fires. Although i have had the car maintained by audi, and have had other recalls performed before and after this period, i have never received this recall notice from audi. My concern is that there are recalls that are apparently not being sent out. I've never had this recall mentioned by any dealership while i was there for other purposes, either. Audi has issued a new second recall stating that the entire pump will need to be replaced but they are dragging their heels, claiming it will be more than six months (2019) before they have any idea of a program to address the issue. Six months to act on a fire danger is arguably irresponsible. |
