What Happened
The front axle brake hoses in your Audi E-Tron GT or RS E-Tron GT are the tubes that carry brake fluid to your brakes. In some 2022-2024 models, these hoses can develop tears, especially during extreme driving conditions.
Risk if Unfixed
If the brake hoses tear, brake fluid will leak and your brakes won't work properly. This can cause your brake pedal to feel spongy and take longer to stop, increasing the risk of 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 get the recall notice.
