An official CAA Japan notice concerns Passenger cars (Audi A1 1.4／90kw and others) - Repair. Automatic transmission hydraulic control system (mechatronics upper housing) defect. ■ Defective component: Automatic transmission hydraulic control system (mechatronics upper housing). ■ Condition of the structure, equipment or performance deemed noncompliant with standards and its cause: In the mechatronics of the 7-speed S tronic automatic transmission, some upper housings have insufficient durability due to improper thread machining. Consequently, fatigue accumulated through continual changes in accumulator hydraulic pressure may cause cracks in the upper housing, reducing hydraulic pressure. In the worst case, driving force may no longer be transmitted, preventing the vehicle from being driven. Published 2020-05-27.
What to do now
(Recall) 外-3035 ■ Corrective measures: Check the manufacturing identification mark on the upper housing inside the mechatronics on all vehicles. If affected, replace the upper housing with an improved part.
