Audi E-Tron recalled over a brake defect
On certain Audi e-tron vehicles the bolted connection between the brake pedal and brake servo might not be properly secured. If it loosens the mechanical link between the foot brake and brake servo could fail. In such cases braking would only be possible using the controlled emergency braking function by holding the parking brake button on the centre console (see Owner’s Manual).
