I was driving my car on a city street when it all of sudden stopped. The car died without warning. I was about to complete a left hand turn into a shopping center parking lot. Thankfully there was not traffic headed towards me at the time or my son and I could have been hit. There wasn't any traffic nearby behind me.

Common questions
Source: NHTSA, 49 CFR 579.5Is Audi TSB_2079193_1 a recall?
No. A service bulletin 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 TSB_2079193_1 repair free?

The manufacturer filed it against 4 model years: 2022 Audi A3, 2022 Audi Q3, 2022 Audi RS, 2022 Audi S3. Whether one particular vehicle is affected is a matter of its VIN and its build, not its model year alone.
