Defect. Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. (Volkswagen) is recalling certain 2024 Audi Q8 Sportback E-Tron Quattro and Q8 E-Tron Quattro vehicles. The brake line connection may have been over-tightened and fail, resulting in a brake fluid leak and reduced braking ability.

Risk. Reduced braking ability can cause longer brake pedal travel or extend the distance required to stop the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy. Dealers will inspect and replace the brake pressure line as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on July 9, 2024. Owners may contact Audi customer service at 1-800-253-2834. Volkswagen's number for this recall is 47DE.

On XXX, I experienced a sudden, potentially catastrophic failure of multiple critical safety systems in my Audi Q8 e-tron while traveling southbound on [XXX] near [XXX], at approximately 70 mph in heavy traffic. Without warning, the vehicle began beeping and displayed malfunction warnings for both the braking system and emergency braking system. I immediately pressed the brake pedal, but **the brakes did not respond and I was unable to slow or stop the vehicle using the brake pedal.** At approximately the same time, the vehicle experienced multiple additional system malfunctions: - The power steering assistance failed, making the vehicle significantly more difficult to steer. - The digital instrument display malfunctioned. - The vehicle would not shut down despite my attempts to turn it off. - The emergency braking system displayed a malfunction warning, leaving me without confidence that the vehicle's emergency braking capabilities were operational. **I was traveling at approximately 70 mph on a crowded interstate with no functioning braking response and severely impaired vehicle control.** I feared for my life and for the safety of surrounding motorists. I managed to exit [XXX], but the dangerous condition persisted. As I approached the traffic light at the end of the exit ramp, I nearly collided with multiple vehicles because the brakes would not respond.

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
