Consumer Description
Quattro Ultra shift fork inside the rear differential is faulty due to inferior material used in production. This defect is acknowledged in the TSB circa 2020, attached. I have experienced hesitation upon a start up from the stop/start function at intersections and other cross traffic situations increasing risk of collusions in fast moving traffic. There is a warning message that states you may continue to drive but to get service. It operates intermittently. I have the defective part following its replacement on a low mileage 2018 Audi Q5 2.0. that is approximately 5 years old at approximately 41,601 miles.
