I got the same email message, and I don't own an A3... guess they're sending 
out to everyone to do pro-active damage control!

A note to our customers about A3 TDI emissions|  |   Dear Daniel,

In recent days, news articles have mentioned Audi in connection with the 
ongoing action involving certain TDI diesel products that do not comply with 
emissions standards.

The numbers reported are startling: Nearly 500,000 Volkswagen and Audi 
models in the United States. Without question, this has caused confusion and 
concern in your mind about our products, and even our brand overall.

That’s why I’d like to set the record straight here.

First, allow me to define what’s at issue for Audi in America. The 
Environmental Protection Agency and California Air Resources Board have 
determined that Audi A3 models equipped with 2.0-liter TDI engines contained 
software aimed at producing better emissions results in testing, and that 
these vehicles do not comply with emissions standards.

These cars represent a limited, but symbolically important part of our 
lineup. Altogether, we have sold approximately 14,300 A3 TDI models to U.S. 
customers starting with the 2010 model year. But we know that an owner — and 
the credibility of our great brand — stands behind each one of these cars.

Make no mistake, we at Audi of America view this situation as unacceptable 
and we are pushing for remedies that can be presented to regulatory 
authorities and to our loyal customers and fans. We intend to make things 
right.

If you own an Audi A3 2.0-liter TDI model we want to start a dialogue with 
you, and we will be reaching out directly by phone over the next couple of 
weeks with additional information, support and next steps. The affected A3 
2.0-liter TDI models are safe and legal to drive while the engineers develop 
a remedy. Audi diesel models with the 3.0-liter V6 TDI engines — the Q5, Q7, 
A6, A7 and A8 — were not referenced in the EPA’s letter, they remain on the 
market, and are available at dealerships.

In the meantime, I encourage you to let us know if you have any questions by 
calling 800-822-2834, or by e-mail to auditalk at audi.com. As your 
representative for Audi in America, I will keep our team focused on 
maintaining your trust in our products, our technologies and our people. We 
will do the right thing by you.

Best regards,   |  |
