## What is wrong

Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. \(Audi\) is recalling one 2019 Audi Q3 vehicle.  Production deviation in the belt pully can prevent the circlip from properly engaging the steering rack.


## What can happen

The circlip can detach and catch on surrounding components, causing the steering system to lock and increasing the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

Audi will notify the owner, and a dealer will replace the steering rack, free of charge.  The recall was completed February 28, 2021.  Owners may contact Audi customer service at 1\-800\-253\-2834.  Audi's number for this recall is 48P7.
