Audi Announces Voluntary Recall of TT Coupe

AUBURN HILLS, Mich., Oct. 28 /PRNewswire/ -- Audi of America, Inc. today 
announced it is voluntarily recalling its TT coupe.  Approximately 3,800 
vehicles in the United States and 25 vehicles in Canada are affected.  This 
action is being implemented following reports Audi AG has received from some 
German customers expressing concern about the handling characteristics of 
their vehicles in certain situations at speeds substantially in excess of 
legal speed limits in the United States and Canada.

The Audi TT is a widely acclaimed sports car with highly agile handling. As 
with all sports cars, the Audi TT is designed to be very responsive to 
steering input.  In sharp high-speed turns or abrupt lane change maneuvers at 
speeds substantially above posted U.S. and Canadian speed limits, and 
depending upon road conditions, precise steering response may be demanded to 
retain directional stability.  In the event vehicle control is lost, an 
accident may occur which could result in injury.

In order to enhance the Audi TT's handling under conditions like those 
described above, Audi will replace the front stabilizers in front-wheel drive 
Audi TTs, and the front and rear stabilizers in Audi TTs equipped with 
quattro all-wheel drive.  A modified control arm will be installed in front 
together with firmer shock absorbers in front and rear.  In addition, a rear 
spoiler will be installed.

With the modified suspension settings and the rear spoiler, the TT will 
retain its satisfying agility, while the limits of stability will be spread 
over a broader range.

TT owners will be notified by mail in the near future.  They will be asked to 
contact their authorized Audi dealer to have the modifications made at no 
cost.  The necessary parts and repair instructions will be available at Audi 
dealers on or about January 15, 2000, with the exception of the spoiler, 
which will be available at Audi dealers on or about February 15, 2000.

Audi always recommends that owners obey all traffic laws, driving at speeds 
which are reasonable and prudent given road conditions, weather, and always 
within the posted speed limits.

Customers with questions are welcome to phone Audi Customer Relations 
toll-free at 800-822-2834.  For a look at the TT with its new spoiler, 
customers should visit Audi's web site at www.audiusa.com
