What Happened
The brake hoses in your Audi RS E-Tron GT or Audi E-Tron GT are the tubes that carry brake fluid from the brake master cylinder to the front wheels. In certain 2022-2024 models, these hoses can develop tears without warning.
Risk if Unfixed
If a brake hose tears, brake fluid can leak out, causing your brake pedal to feel spongy and your brakes to perform poorly. This means it could take longer to stop, increasing the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Your Audi dealer will replace the brake hoses with new ones, at no cost to you. Schedule the repair as soon as you receive the recall notice.
