Default Check for vehicle, part or accessory recalls

motorcycles, quadricycles and tricycles
caravans and horse boxes
child car seats
seat belts and harnesses
tyres

Neat. Thanks


Seems to be no recalls for the facelift D2 A8 (they don't separately list the S8, even though they do list the S3, S6 and S7).

I did notice this, applicable to some PF D2s though:

"Unscheduled"!?!

Closely followed by an unscheduled bowel movement no doubt!!

I had a recall done on my S8 early on in my ownership for a faulty park interlock on the gear selector - from memory the cable could slip in its guide and you wouldn't be able to get the car out of park.

I think it was a manufacturer led recall, not a coded one through DVSA though so not surprised it doesn't feature

I had mine done too when I first serviced the car at Audi many years ago - and it does feature on the site under A8's HERE

Indeed, but mine being a 2002 raises questions over whether they incorrectly
Believed it applied to mine, or if more vehicles were potentially affected?
