AUDI 2008 TT. THE SIDE VIEW MIRRORS DO NOT GO OUT FAR ENOUGH TO SAFELY SEE THE ROAD. I WAS TOLD BE THE DEALER THEY WERE NORMAL. I OWN 4 OTHER AUDI'S THAT DO NOT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THIS FROM 2 DIFFERENT DEALERS. I EXPLAINED THAT IF THEY DID NOT PUT THE MIRRORS ON THE CAR SO THEY COULD MOVE OUT FAR ENOUGH TO SEE, IT WAS NOT ALWAYS CORRECT. THEY DID NOT LISTEN TO MY COMPLAINT. I THINK THEY HAVE THEM ALL MOUNTED WRONG SO THEY LEAVE MOST OF THE LANE NEXT TO YOU, ESPECIALLY ON THE RIGHT SIDE. *TR

Consequence & remedy

Consequence: THE DETACHED TRIM COVER COULD POSE A RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY FOR VEHICLE FRONT SEAT OCCUPANTS.

Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSTALL AN IMPROVED CLIP ON THE AFFECTED VEHICLES. THE RECALL BEGAN ON MARCH 7, 2008. OWNERS MAY CONTACT VW/AUDI AT 1-800-822-2834.
