What the authority reported
On Audi Q3 and Q6 (MQB China only) models manufactured within a specific period corrosion may occur on a bolted connection securing the steering rack due to moisture entering in combination with significant exposure to road salt. Gradual corrosion can impair the secure attachment of the steering rack and lead to it no longer being possible to steer the vehicle increasing the risk of an accident. Remedy: The bolted connection for the steering rack will be replaced on all affected vehicles.
What to do
Follow the instructions in the official notice — recall remedies (refund, repair, replacement, or disposal) are defined by the issuing authority and the responsible business, and they differ per recall. Do not rely on summaries, including this one.
