Official summary

Audi is providing updated transmission control module (TCM) software to enhance an in-vehicle alert should a problem arise within the auxiliary hydraulic pump. Additionally, if a specific fault is found after the software is updated, a repair will be made to the transmission.

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.
