Audi recalls 104 cars in Vietnam over lock nut issue

German auto brand Audi is recalling 104 cars in Vietnam due to a lock nut issue on the rear suspension that could cause a loss of control and crash.

Certain lock nuts on the trailing arm of the rear axle can break due to corrosion, which can change the wheel alignment on the rear axle, according to a notice the company submitted to Vietnam Register.

If the rear axle suddenly moves in the wrong direction, the driver could lose control and crash, it added.

There has been no known accidents reported.

The company will contact each owner about a free replacement of the lock nut, which would take around 1.5 hours.

The recall lasts from Nov. 15 to Nov. 14, 2024.
