TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1991 AUDI 80. WHILE DRIVING 5 MPH THE FRONT WHEELS LOCKED AND WOULD NOT UNLOCK. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER. EIGHT MONTHS BEFORE THE GEAR WAS STUCK IN REVERSE BUT EVENTUALLY RELEASED. THERE WAS A NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID 93V006000 (POWER TRAIN: AXLE ASSEMBLY), HOWEVER; THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED.

THE MANUFACTURER STATED THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL DUE TO VIN. *AK
