Additional information:
Among the ninety (90) recalls the NHTSA announced in May came news of the following:

Audi of America (“Audi”), a Herndon, Virginia establishment, a subsidiary of Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. and itself a division of the Volkswagen Group of Wolfsburg, Germany, has recalled an estimated 17,797 model year 2022-2024 Audi Q4 e-tron and Q4 e-tron Sportback Electric Vehicle (“EV”) Sport Utility Vehicles (“SUVs”) marketed, sold and delivered in the United States.

Recall Category: Exterior Lighting – Incorrect Headlight Software in apparent contravention of US FMVSS 108

NHTSA Safety Notification 24V361000 reports the incorrect Headlight Control Module Software may have been installed. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of US Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 108, “Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment”.

According to the NHTSA, incorrect Headlight Control Module Software may cause the Parking Lights not to operate as intended when the Headlights are turned on and the Turn Signals are activated, which can reduce vehicle visibility and increase the risk of a crash, motor vehicle collision (“MVC”) or other impact event with consequential serious injury and/or life-changing results.
