Description
Volkswagen group of america, inc. (audi) is recalling certain 2013-2017 a8, s6 sedan, s7, s8, and 2014-2017 rs7 vehicles. The turbocharger oil supply strainer can become blocked, causing wear to the bearings due to lack of lubrication.
Consequence
Worn bearings can cause the turbine wheel to contact the turbocharger housing or cause the shaft to break, causing an engine stall and increasing the risk of a crash.
Corrective Action
Dealers will replace the oil strainer and perform an oil change, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed may 20, 2022. Owners may contact audi customer service at 1-800-253-2834. Audi's number for this recall is 21h7.
