<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\nAudi has announced a recall of select electric cars in India due to a potential issue 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 2 February 2018 and 11 June 2024.As per the official information, a total of 207 units are affected in the Indian market. The company has not shared a model-wise split of the recalled vehicles.The issue relates 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 could gradually loosen, which may affect the mechanical link between the brake pedal and the brake servo.If this connection weakens, the transfer of force from the brake pedal to the braking system may not function as intended. In rare cases, if the connection becomes completely loose, the primary braking link may no longer remain secure.<\/p>\n Watch<\/span><\/p>\n Audi Q8 Review: Brilliant mix of Comfort and Sportiness | TOI Auto<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Audi has equipped these vehicles with a backup safety system.
