Audi Q5: Rear Brake Pistons Coated Incorrectly
Audi Q5 Brake Recall Summary Audi is recalling 606 Q5 vehicles because the rear brake pistons may have an incorrect coating that can cause gas bubbles to form in the hydraulic system. This could increase brake pedal travel and reduce the effectiveness of the rear brakes, potentially requiring significantly longer distances to stop. The remedy involves bleeding the rear brake hydraulic system on affected vehicles.

- Product
- Vehicles: AUDI Q5. Units affected: 606
- Reason
- The rear brake pistons may have been coated incorrectly potentially causing the brake pedal travel to increase under braking and the effectiveness of the rear brakes to be reduced. Gas bubbles may form in the hydraulic system on the rear brake circuit under certain conditions as a function of temperature and time. In the event of a fault only the rear brake circuit will be affected. As a result the vehicle may take significantly longer to stop. Remedy: The rear brake hydraulic system (rear left and rear right brake calipers) must be bled on the affected vehicles.
