Hi all,

I received a letter from AoA stating that certain cars were produced with wheels that don't meet Audi's appearance requirements. If I am understanding correctly, if I needed to order a replacement wheel, it wouldn't match my other 3.

Anyone else get this? Haven't had a chance to talk to my dealer yet, but it is odd they want to buy me 4 brand new wheels.

I've got a 2015 S7 with Black Optic Package, so the wheels are the 20" titanium colored 5 split spokes.

Thanks!

If it's actually a recall I doubt they'd want you to pay for a replacement set.

Sorry, I wasn't clear. They described the problem that if I needed to order a replacement for some reason in the future, it wouldn't match my other 3. Therefore, they are willing to replace all 4 for free now to avoid any future issues.

Just chatted online with AoA, and was told it pertained to certain 19" wheels, which means I don't think it applies to my 20" Black Optic wheels. Will double-check with dealer.

Ok, so if it applies to you then just have them replace them. It might have just been something they sent to everyone in your production batch though.

Just spoke to the dealer and was informed the campaign does affect my wheels. AoA online chat said it was for 19" wheels. We will see.

I work at Audi Natick as a service advisor. Just found out about this today. its for the 20" wheels have the black optic package. I believe 500 cars were "silently recalled" probably something with the paint. You can actually get a brand new set of the exact same wheels for free according to the campaign. I have a link of what the wheels look like.

My 2015 - BO package - they replaced all four cores - they seem not as dark (black) and a little brighter in appearance. Top two our brand new installed yesterday bottom two is when the vehicle arrived at dealer.
Lighting is different but the new ones I think are not as dark!!
