• Powertrain Warranty
• Diesel Emissions Issues
• Takata Recall

Powertrain Warranty

Audi has a simple warranty policy. It combines the basic and powertrain warranties into one policy lasting for 4 years or 50,000 miles, whichever comes first. While this is a good period of time for the basic warranty, it falls behind when it comes to powertrain components. Many other brands warranty a powertrain policy for at least 5 or 6 years. 

Diesel Emissions Issues

As a Volkswagen brand, 13,000 Audis were included in the diesel emissions scandal that happened in the 2010s. Under the court settlements, owners and lessees of involved Audi 3.0L TDI and Audi 2.0L TDI vehicles may be eligible for buyback, lease termination, emissions modification, or cash settlements.
