AUDI Q5 (20/03/2018 – 19/04/2018) RECALL: 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.
