What Happened
The lock nut on your vehicle's rear axle helps keep the wheels properly aligned. In your Audi, it's prone to breaking due to corrosion, especially from stress.
Risk if Unfixed
If the lock nut breaks, your rear axle could become misaligned, making it harder to control your vehicle. This could lead to a loss of control and increase the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Your Audi dealer will replace the lock nut and any affected bolts for free. You'll get a notification letter, and you should schedule the repair as soon as possible.
