Summary
On certain Audi TT Quattro vehicles, moisture could enter the rear track control arm's mounting bushing and bolt combination and cause corrosion. Corrosion could impede the free movement of the control arm. Correction: Dealers will replace the track control arms.
Summary
Certain vehicles may be susceptible to loss of directional stability in sharp turns or abrupt lane change maneuvers at extremely high speeds due to a steering system that is very responsive to steering input. Correction: Stabilizers will be replaced in front on front wheel drive vehicles and on both front and rear on quattro drive vehicles. A modified control arm will be installed in front together with firmer shock absorbers in front and rear. In addition, a rear spoiler will be installed.
