The German car brand Audi will be forced to make a recall relating to about 100 thousand cars, on different models, for a tire problem. However, this is not a completely new problem, but the consequence of a previous repair for another defect.
The original repair of the Audi involved, with reporting dating back to last July, consisted of replacing a nut on the eccentric bolt of the spring linkage control arm of the rear axle. The component was at risk of breaking due to stress corrosion, resulting in less maneuverability of the cars at high speeds. Repairs have been carried out, but without adjusting the tire trim, who now suffer from excessive, uneven or premature wear.
Last year’s recall involved 149,561 examples of the models A4, A5, A6, A7, A8, Q5, Q7, Q8 and e-Tron, built between November 2019 and April 2021. Two thirds of these units will then have to return to the dealership for service. In the same position are the owners of the Porsche Cayenne built in autumn 2020, of which 6,650 were also recalled last summer. The new recall, according to Car-Recalls.eu reports, relates to 5,641 of them.
A report from the German Federal Motor Transport Authority (KBA) mentions him “Poor wheel alignment“As a reason for the recall, that”in extreme cases it can lead to a loss of tire pressure“. The wheels will have to be adjusted and, if necessary, the rear tires will have to be replaced at an authorized workshop. The repair should take two to three and a half hours.
