Official summary
Due to a Product Quality investigation, 12-volt batteries installed in the A3 will be on 100% submission for the 2015 and 2016 model years. Because the A3 does not have a battery manager, physical inspection of the battery is the only way to determine the root cause of failures. This policy will apply to batteries being replaced with service part number 000915105DGDSP 72AH/380A.
Vehicles covered
What a TSB means. Technical service bulletins are repair guidance manufacturers send to dealers — they are not recalls, and repairs are not automatically free (warranty extensions are an exception worth checking). The full document is available via NHTSA’s vehicle lookup.
