When owners complained
A spike years after the car went on sale usually means a part wearing
out on schedule across the whole fleet — the kind of pattern no single
owner can see from inside their own car.

NHTSA investigations into the 1993 Audi 90
An investigation is the step before a recall: the agency has seen enough
complaints to look into a pattern itself. An open one means it thinks
something may be wrong and nothing has been fixed yet.

Recalls on the 1993 Audi 90
A complaint is one owner's allegation. A recall is the point at which
the manufacturer or a regulator agreed the defect is real and dangerous
enough to fix for free — however old the car is.
Canada — Transport Canada
Canada runs its own recall programme, and its campaigns do not
always mirror the American ones.
Recall 19990042,700 units in Canada
Fuel System
On certain vehicles, the fuel injectors could malfunction and cause fuel seepage in the engine compartment. Fuel seepage, in the presence of an ignition source such as a spark leak from a spark plug wire could cause an engine compartment fire. Correction: All fuel injectors will be replaced on affected vehicles.
Recall 19971751,328 units in Canada
Seats And Restraints
THE AIR BAG SENSOR ON THESE VEHICLES MAY MALFUNCTION AND CAUSE THE AIR BAG RESTRAINT SYSTEM TO DEPLOY WITHOUT AN IMPACT OR ACCIDENT.

MIDAS TOWED ME IN AND KEPT SAYING SORRY OR THIS AND ALSO SAID THAT CAR QUEST SENT THE WRONG TIE ROD FOR MY CAR FOR THE DRIVERS SIDE TIE ROD BUT, CAR QUEST SAID THAT THE TIE ROD IS LISTED FROM THE MANUFACTURE TO FIT THIS CAR. THEY REPLACED BOTH TIE RODS BUT, WHEN MY INSURANCE CAME TO SEE THE CAR THE CAR UNDERNEATH WAS DAMAGED TO MUCH THEY SAID SO THEY TOTALED THE AUDI OUT WHICH I BOUGHT BACK FROM THE INSURANCE. MY WIFE AND I BOTH SUFFERED INJURIES AS A RESULT OF THESE TIE RODS AND ARE SEEING DOCTORS ALL THE TIME NOW BECAUSE OF THIS ACCIDENT. THE AUTO BODY SAID WE ARE LUCKY TO BE ALIVE THAT IF WE WERE ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THIS HAPPENED WE WOULD HAVE ROLLED THE AUDI OVER POSSIBLY AND GOT KILLED. THESE TIE RODS ARE POOR A DESIGNED AND POSSIBLY ARE BEING MISLABLED FROM THE MANUFACTURER OF THEM TO FIT CARS THAT THEY DON'T OR CAR QUEST IS LABELING THEM WRONG IN THEIR SYSTEM TO FIX CARS LIKE MINE. THE VERY SAD THING IS MIDAS IS A STATE INSPECTION STATION AND SHOULD HAVE KNOWN THAT THESE WEREN'T RIGHT FOR MY AUDI AND COULD HAVE PREVENTED THIS ACCIDENT WHERE MY WIFE AND I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. I WOULD LIKE THE NHTSA TO LOOK INTO THIS MATTER AND FIX THE ISSUE SO THAT THIS ACCIDENT THAT WE HAD DOESN'T HAPPEN TO ANOTHER AUDI OWNER OR OTHER MAKE AND GETS KILLED.
