What is the SUSPENSION:FRONT recall for the 2018 AUDI A5? (Campaign #18V893000)

If the front wheel comes loose, it could make it harder to steer your vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash. Your Audi dealer will check the front suspension fasteners and tighten or replace them if necessary – at no cost to you. Schedule an appointment as soon as you get the recall notice.
