Affected Vehicles
Condition
This Update has been proactively released to prevent the following condition from occurring in the vehicle:
The contacts of the inner LED tail lights may develop oxidation which may cause malfunctions of the inner LED tail light. The outer tail lights are
not affected and still function properly.
This Update is in effect until removed.
Vehicle must meet all of the following criteria:
^ Procedure is valid only for vehicles that show the 94F6 code in the ElsaWeb Campaign/Action Information screen on the day of repair.
^ Vehicle must be within the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
^ Procedure must be performed within the allotted time frame stated in this Technical DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIR.
^ Procedure must be performed on applicable vehicles in dealer inventory prior to sale.
Technical Background
On Audi A4 vehicles with LED tail lights manufactured within a specific period, it is possible that oxidation can occur on the contacts of the inner
LED tail lights due to environmental factors. This can lead to malfunctions. The outer tail lights are not affected and still function properly.
Production Solution
The seals on the inner tail light assemblies must be replaced on the affected vehicles.
Service
1. Replace seals for inner tail light assemblies (left and right sides).
Tip: To remove the old seals, warm gently with a hot air blower. Use the lowest setting, as excessive heat causes the tail light assemblies to
deform.
