What This Recall Means

Component

STEERING:CRITICAL FASTENERS

What Happened
A critical component in your vehicle's steering system, the belt pulley, may not be working properly due to a production deviation, which can cause the circlip to get stuck.
Risk if Unfixed
If the circlip detaches, it could get caught on other parts and cause the steering to lock, which can increase the risk of a crash.

How to Get This Fixed

Free Fix
Audi will notify you and replace your steering rack free of charge, so you don't need to do anything except wait for their notification and schedule a free repair at a dealership.
