What's wrong: Volkswagen group of america, Inc. (Audi) is recalling one 2019 Audi q3 vehicle. Production deviation in the belt pully can prevent the circlip from properly engaging the steering rack.
Why it matters: The circlip can detach and catch on surrounding components, causing the steering system to lock and increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Audi will notify the owner, and a dealer will replace the steering rack, free of charge. The recall was completed February 28, 2021.
