What's wrong: Volkswagen group of america, Inc. (Audi) is recalling certain 2019-2023 Audi E-tron Quattro, 2020-2023 Audi E-tron Sportback, 2024 Q8 E-tron, Q8 Sportback E-tron, SQ8 E-tron, and SQ8 Sportback E-tron vehicles. The fastener that connects the brake pedal and the brake booster may have been improperly assembled during manufacturing, which can cause the brake pedal to detach from the brake booster.

The fix: Dealers will inspect and tighten the pushrod screw joint as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on April 28, 2026.
