Audi Q7 recall in Canada: Brakes may lose power assist
In plain language
This recall affects certain 2013 Audi Q7 vehicles in Canada equipped with a 3.0L TDI engine. A contaminated check valve may allow engine oil to enter the brake booster, which could degrade the diaphragm and cause it to rupture. This could affect power assist brake performance, leading to increased brake pedal effort and potentially a complete loss of power assist. An unexpected increase in pedal effort could increase the risk of a crash.
