What it saysThis bulletin provides information when the air conditioning is not working. NHTSA’s full summary ↓
Audi filed this with NHTSA as a service bulletin dated Sep 9, 2025, received Oct 3, 2025, about the visibility/wiper. It names 15 model years (2022–2026). 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 15 model years this bulletin names have filed 36 complaints with NHTSA since 2015. 2 of them name Visibility/Wiper — the same broad component group this bulletin is filed under. NHTSA groups complaints coarsely, so that means the same area of the vehicle, not necessarily the same fault.
My 2026 Audi A3’s windshield wipers shake, skip, and rub across the windshield, reducing visibility in rain. Even in very light rain, multiple sensor warnings activate. These issues began shortly after leasing the vehicle and continue despite repeated service visits. I am concerned about visibility and safety while driving in rain
2026 Audi A3 · Visibility/Wiper · filed with NHTSA Oct 30, 2026 · ODI 11774597
The contact owns a 2023 Audi S3. The contact stated while driving during rainy conditions, the wiper blades were making a loud sound and almost scratching the windshield, making visibility difficult and increasing the risk of a crash.
2024 Audi S3 · Visibility/Wiper · filed with NHTSA Jul 10, 2024 · ODI 11600840
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
Source: NHTSA, 49 CFR 579.5Is Audi TSB_2079244_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_2079244_1 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.
Which vehicles does TSB_2079244_1 cover?
The manufacturer filed it against 15 model years: 2026 Audi A3, 2025 Audi A3, 2024 Audi A3, 2023 Audi A3, 2022 Audi A3, 2026 Audi RS and more. Whether one particular vehicle is affected is a matter of its VIN and its build, not its model year alone.
