The reason for this measure was an order issued by the German Federal Motor Transport Authority. The company is accused of using special software on its diesel engines that understated harmful emission readings. The recall list includes models such as A4, A5, A6, A7, A8, Q5, and Q7.

It is worth noting that at the end of last year, Audi already conducted a recall campaign, during which more than a million cars were recalled due to a malfunction of the auxiliary heater.
