AUDI A8 (2018–2019)
What the hazard is
If the spokes break, handling of the vehicle may be affected, increasing the risk of an accident and injury to the vehicle occupants and other road users.
What to do
Audi Australia Pty Ltd is contacting all known owners of affected vehicles. Consumers should contact their nearest Audi dealer to arrange for inspection and replacement with alternative 21-inch aluminium wheel rims.

Defect
The wheel rims on the vehicle do not meet strength specifications. If an affected vehicle hits the kerb or crosses speed humps or uneven road conditions at high speed, the wheel spokes could potentially break.
