What it saysThis bulletin provides information when there are uncomfortable gear shifts when shifting in higher gears. NHTSA’s full summary ↓
Audi filed this with NHTSA as a service bulletin dated Jun 25, 2026, received Jul 7, 2026, about the power train. It names 3 model years (2020–2022). 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.

Common questions
Source: NHTSA, 49 CFR 579.5Is Audi TSB_2080373_2 a recall?

Is the TSB_2080373_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.
Which vehicles does TSB_2080373_2 cover?
The manufacturer filed it against 3 model years: 2022 Audi Q3, 2021 Audi Q3, 2020 Audi Q3. Whether one particular vehicle is affected is a matter of its VIN and its build, not its model year alone.
