Volkswagen Group of America, Inc.: 2024 Audi Q8 E-Tron Models Recalled for Brake Line Failure

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Volkswagen is recalling 65 model year 2024 Audi Q8 Sportback E-Tron Quattro and Q8 E-Tron Quattro vehicles. The brake line connections in these vehicles may have been over-tightened during manufacturing, which can lead to the connection failing and leaking brake fluid. Dealers will inspect the brake pressure line and replace it if necessary at no cost to owners.

Risk

A leaking brake line reduces the vehicle's braking power, which can make the brake pedal feel soft or require a much longer distance to come to a complete stop, significantly increasing the risk of a crash.

What You Should Do

  1. Identify if your vehicle is affected: this recall specifically involves certain 2024 Audi Q8 Sportback E-Tron Quattro and Q8 E-Tron Quattro models.
  2. Contact an authorized Audi dealer to schedule a free inspection and potential replacement of the brake pressure line.
  3. If you notice a change in brake pedal feel, such as longer pedal travel or reduced stopping power, contact your dealer immediately.
  4. For more information, contact Audi customer service at 1-800-253-2834 and reference Volkswagen recall number 47DE.
