Audi has announced a recall of select electric cars in India due to a possible problem with the braking system. The recall covers the Audi e-tron, Audi e-tron Sportback, Audi Q8 e-tron and Audi Q8 e-tron Sportback. These vehicles were manufactured between February 2, 2018 and June 11, 2024.According to official information, a total of 207 units are affected in the Indian market. The company has not shared the model-wise breakdown of the recalled vehicles.The problem is related to a specific component in the braking system. Audi has identified that the bolted connection for the brake servo push rod in these models may not fully meet technical specifications. Over time, this connection can gradually loosen, affecting the mechanical link between the brake pedal and the brake servo.If this connection becomes weak, the force transfer from the brake pedal to the braking system may not work as intended. In rare cases, if the connection loosens completely, the primary breaking link may no longer be secure.
Audi has equipped these vehicles with a backup safety system. In such situations, drivers can activate the controlled emergency braking function by pressing and holding the electromechanical parking brake button on the center console. This slows down the vehicle and brings it to a safe stop.The recall has been initiated as a precautionary measure to address the issue and ensure all affected vehicles meet the brand’s safety standards.Stay connected with TOI Auto for the latest updates on the automotive sector and follow us on our social media handles on Facebook, Instagram and X.
