What this recall means for you
The brake pedal plate on certain vehicles can bend or detach under the force applied during sudden stopping. A bent or detached plate reduces the area your foot has to press against, which makes it harder to brake effectively and increases the risk of a crash.
Dealers will inspect the weld between the brake pedal and the brake pedal plate and, where necessary, replace the entire brake pedal. The repair is free of charge. Audi will notify affected owners, and you can contact Audi customer service at 1-800-253-2834 with questions. To check whether your vehicle has any open recalls, enter your VIN on the NHTSA recall lookup website and schedule a visit to an authorized dealer.
