high How serious is it? About this label

Losing part of your brakes means longer stopping distances and a higher chance of a crash, so treat this as urgent and have it fixed right away.

What's wrong, in plain English

The brake hoses at the front wheels of some 2022 through 2024 Audi e-tron GT and RS e-tron GT cars can develop tears. A torn hose leaks brake fluid, and that knocks out part of the braking system. You may find the brake pedal sinking farther than usual and the car taking much longer to stop. Dealers will replace the front brake hoses free of charge. Owner letters were mailed in August 2024.

1. Look up your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to confirm your car is included.
2. Call your Audi dealer or Audi customer service at 1-800-253-2834 about recall 47UP.
