Issue: On certain vehicles, a software problem could allow you to close the sunroof remotely without the key fob being near the vehicle. Canadian regulations require the key fob to be in or near the vehicle when closing the sunroof. Safety Risk: A sunroof that can be closed without the key fob in or near the vehicle could create a risk of injury. Corrective Actions: Audi will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to update the sunroof control unit. The dealer will also provide you with an insert to the owner's manual.
