Audi bulletin A5124312068999_2
What it saysThis bulletin provides information when there is visible corrosion at the joint between the roof and roof side member. NHTSA’s full summary ↓
Audi filed this with NHTSA as a service bulletin dated Sep 16, 2024, received Oct 28, 2024, about the structure. It names 154 model years (2016–2024). A service bulletin is not a safety recall: it is the manufacturer telling its dealers how to diagnose or repair a condition, and whether the work is paid for depends on the warranty in force. Quoting the number at a service desk can save a diagnosis.

The summary is NHTSA’s abstract of the document, as filed under 49 CFR 579.5. One communication is usually filed as several documents — the bulletin, a dealer notice, an owner letter — and the number on any of them finds this page. A PDF link is shown only once NHTSA’s own server has been seen to serve that document; the rest are checked over the following nights. Quote the number at a service desk; it is what the dealer’s system is keyed on.

What owners reported
Source: NHTSA complaint databaseOwners of the 154 model years this bulletin names have filed 2,974 complaints with NHTSA since 2015. 50 of them name Structure — the same broad component group this bulletin is filed under.

My son just crashed my 2018 Audi A4 with pre sense basic and city. $20k damage in the front! No air bag deployed. It happened on a highway during morning rush hour in heavy traffic.

My husband and son were driving down the road and the sunroof exploded causing glass shards to go everywhere. Temp was 43 degree. According to my husband, it sounded like a bomb went off.

A complaint is one owner’s account, not a defect finding, and a bulletin is not a recall. Nothing here says this bulletin was issued because of these complaints, or that the repair it describes fixed them. Complaint files on this site begin in 2015.

Common questions

Is the A5124312068999_2 repair free?
Not automatically. A service bulletin describes how to diagnose or repair a condition; who pays depends on the warranty in force, any extension, and the dealer. Quoting the number can save a diagnosis either way.
