I have followed this issue on several forums for a couple of years now. First with our ‘21 Q8 and now with our ‘23 Q8. Love the car- hate the BSG worry.
Despite all my reading, I have not found any posts with definitive information as to whether the problem was eliminated for the ‘23 model year. (ours has a manufacture date of 02/2023)
Have I missed it or is it because there is no definitive answer out there yet?

Any indication if this service action would apply to those of us who have recently already had the starter Gen replace due to a failure. Anything to indicate this is a new part or software? Trying to understand if this means the problem is really fixed or just a replacement part to delay the inevitable.

Booked an appointment for alternator/generator replacement
Today I went to one of the Audi dealerships closest to my house. I went there to pick up a litre of engine oil for my 2019 Q8. While there I went up to a service representative and asked about the service action related to the alternator. Immediately the representative knew what I was talking about and asked for my VIN and he told me that there is a recall. Now I have an appointment for June 3rd to have my alternator/generator replaced.

A recall? Wish there was a Vin check for that- All i have seen is service bulletins and you have to have had the error code before they will repair. Would be nice if there was a preemptive recall.
