Known issues on the 1999 A6. Nine recalls are on federal record for this model year. The driver-side air bag inflator module can absorb moisture and deploy improperly in a crash. The headlight switch connector can short-circuit, which could lead to overheating or fire, and a separate electrical recall covers a knee-bolster contact with the headlight switch harness that could cause a fire to originate in the left dashboard area. The fuel tank sending units can accumulate sulfur deposits so the gauge reads full when it isn't, and a related fuel filler recall on Quattro-equipped cars can eject fuel spray in the presence of an ignition source after refueling. Two separate recalls cover tie rod seals that let moisture and dust into the steering swivel bearing, wearing it and diminishing steering control. The brake booster vacuum hose control valve may not open or close fully below -4°F, reducing vacuum to the booster. And on 2.8L V6 automatics, the throttle can freeze open in extreme cold, which could cause the vehicle to fail to reduce speed when the driver lifts off the gas, risking a crash without warning. Owners have filed 231 complaints for the year, though no technical service bulletins are logged. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.
From a frozen throttle body to a steering tie rod inspection or a brake booster vacuum check, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 1999 A6.
