2018 | AUDI | A5

Issue

On certain A5 Sportback models, some front suspension fasteners may not have been tightened properly. This could cause a wheel to become loose and potentially separate from the vehicle, increasing the risk of a loss of control and/or a crash. In addition, the wheel assembly could strike another vehicle, stationary object, or bystander, causing injury and/or property damage. Correction: Dealers will inspect the front suspension fasteners to ensure they are properly tightened, and if necessary, replace them.
