## What is wrong

Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. \(Volkswagen\) is recalling certain 2020 Audi Q3 vehicles.  The brake pedal plate can bend or detach under the pressure applied during sudden stopping.


## What can happen

A bent or detached brake pedal plate decreases the contact area for the driver's foot and increases the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

Audi will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the weld between the brake pedal and the brake pedal plate and, as necessary, replace the entire brake pedal, free of charge.  The recall began January 12, 2021.  Owners may contact Audi customer service at 1\-800\-253\-2834.  Volkswagen's number for this recall is 46i7.
