What Happened
The part that connects your brake pedal to the brake booster in your Audi E-Tron or Q8 E-Tron is called the fastener. It was possibly installed incorrectly during manufacturing.
Risk if Unfixed
If this fastener comes loose, your brake pedal could break off while you're driving — you'll lose all brake function, making it harder to stop your vehicle and increasing the risk of a serious crash.
Free Fix
Your Audi dealer will inspect the fastener and tighten it if necessary, all for free. You should schedule the repair as soon as you get the recall notice and contact Audi customer service at 1-800-253-2834 for more information.
