What Happened
The brake hoses in your Audi RS E-Tron GT or Audi E-Tron GT are the flexible tubes that carry brake fluid to the front brakes. They can develop tears in certain 2022-2024 models.
Risk if Unfixed
If a brake hose tears, it can cause a brake fluid leak, leading to longer brake pedal travel and reduced braking power. This means it'll take longer to stop, and you'll have a greater risk of being involved in a collision.
Free Fix
Your Audi dealer will replace the faulty brake hoses with new ones, at no cost to you. This repair is free, and you should schedule it as soon as you receive the recall notice from Audi.
