What Happened

Risk if Unfixed
If you use the wrong brake fluid, it could reduce your braking power and make it harder to stop your vehicle, which increases the risk of a serious crash.
Free Fix
Your Audi dealer will inspect the brake fluid cap and replace it if necessary, all at no cost to you. This is a free repair, and you should schedule it as soon as you get the recall notice.
