Over 5,000 2021 Audis Being Recalled in Canada for a Suspension Issue

Audi vehicles are known for their excellent handling and craftsmanship. However, a new recall involving a significant number of 2021 models sold in Canada risks casting a bit of a shadow on that reputation.

On April 26, Transport Canada posted a recall notice from Volkswagen Canada regarding a potential suspension defect in 5,396 Audi vehicles.

On some vehicles, the lock nuts on the rear longitudinal arm bolts may be defective. If one of the nuts should break, it could cause a sudden change in the alignment of the rear wheel, which could affect the stability of the vehicle. This could lead to loss of control and possibly an accident.

This recall affects a variety of 2021 models: A4, A5, A6, A7, A8, RS5, RS6, RS7, S4, S5, S6, S7 and S8 automobiles, as well as Q5, Q7, Q8 and SQ5 SUVs. The recall does not specify how many of each of these models are affected by the defect.
