Known issues on the 1996 A6. Two recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first covers the ignition switch: improperly manufactured switches can cause electrical accessories such as turn signals, windshield wipers, lamps, power windows, and air conditioning to malfunction when the car is started. The second covers the frontal air bag: static electricity discharged under low-humidity conditions can activate the driver-side air bag when the driver enters or exits the vehicle, risking personal injury. Owners have filed 54 complaints for the year, and no technical service bulletins are logged. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.
From tracing an ignition switch fault to servicing the air bag circuit or a routine fluid change, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 1996 A6.
