What owners reported
Source: NHTSA complaint databaseOwners of the 1 model year this bulletin names have filed 8 complaints with NHTSA since 2015. 5 of them name Engine — 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.
The first time, while driving at 50-55mph, the engine decelerated suddenly. After about 10-15 seconds struggles with the gas pedal and brake pedal, the car accelerated normally. I pulled safely to side of the road to shut off the engine and start again. Things seemed to work like normal. The control panels did not show any warning signs.

Source: NHTSA, 49 CFR 579.5Is Audi TSB_2080712_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_2080712_1 repair free?

The manufacturer filed it against 1 model year: 2021 Audi A7. Whether one particular vehicle is affected is a matter of its VIN and its build, not its model year alone.
