What Happened
The engine in your Audi is made up of many parts, including the cylinder bore. In some 2021 SQ7, RSQ8, RS7, RS6 AVANT, and SQ8 models, the cylinder bore can develop small cracks on its surface.
Risk if Unfixed
If the cylinder bore cracks, it could cause your engine to fail, leading to a stall or an oil leak. This could make it hard to control your vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash or even a fire.
