What Happened
The seal around the hood of your Audi is designed to keep hot engine parts safe from causing damage. However, in some 2013-2018 S8 and A8 models, this seal can come loose and potentially contact those hot parts.
Risk if Unfixed
If the seal touches the hot engine components, there's a higher chance of a fire starting in your engine compartment.
Free Fix
Your Audi dealer will install a special retaining plate to keep the seal in place, completely free of charge. When you get the recall notice, schedule a visit to have this fix done.
