Common questions
Source: NHTSA, 49 CFR 579.5Is Audi AWA 24-04 a recall?
No. A warranty extension is a manufacturer communication filed with NHTSA under 49 CFR 579.5; a safety recall carries an NHTSA campaign number (two digits, a letter, six digits) and a federal duty to repair for free. Check the vehicle’s recalls by VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls, or on its page here.
Is the AWA 24-04 repair free?
A warranty extension is usually paid by the manufacturer on the vehicles it names, within the terms and time limit the document sets; the dealer checks the VIN against the manufacturer’s list.
Which vehicles does AWA 24-04 cover?
The manufacturer filed it against 80 model years: 2023 Audi A3, 2022 Audi A3, 2020 Audi A3, 2019 Audi A3, 2018 Audi A3, 2017 Audi A3 and more. Whether one particular vehicle is affected is a matter of its VIN and its build, not its model year alone.
