Two numbers, one recall

Every safety recall carries two identifiers. 69GU is the number Audi assigned in its own system: it is what appears on the owner letter, on the dealer’s service screen and on the repair order. 24V251000 is the number NHTSA filed the same recall under when the manufacturer reported it, and it is the one every federal record, this site included, is keyed on.

The repair is free by federal law for vehicles up to fifteen years old. Whether one particular vehicle is included is settled by its VIN against the manufacturer’s build list, not by its model year.

Check one specific vehicle

Both lookups check a VIN against the manufacturer’s own list and say whether the repair is still outstanding on that vehicle.

Common questions

Source: NHTSA, 49 CFR Part 573

Is 69GU the same recall as 24V251000?

Yes. 69GU is Audi’s own number for it; 24V251000 is NHTSA’s. One recall, two references.

Which vehicles does 69GU cover?

2023–2024 Audi A3 and 12 other Audi models, 91 vehicles by the manufacturer’s count. A recall covers a build range, so the VIN decides whether one particular vehicle is in it.

Does the 69GU repair cost anything?

No. The manufacturer must remedy a safety defect at no charge for vehicles up to 15 years old from first sale.
