What Happened
The rear wheel arch cover trim on your Audi SQ5 or Q5 is designed to protect the wheel well from road debris. Over time, it may come loose and break off, which can create a hazard on the road.
Risk if Unfixed
If the trim comes loose and breaks off while you're driving, it could become a road hazard and potentially cause a crash.
Free Fix
Your Audi dealer will tighten the four clips that hold the trim in place, ensuring it stays secure – and it won't cost you a thing. You'll receive a notification, and once you get it, schedule the repair to keep you safe on the road.
