Recall letters go to whoever owns the car on paper, which may not be you. Save your 2021 Audi Q3 and we will email you the day Transport Canada issues a new recall for it.

Good news: Recall repairs are almost always free. Book with any manufacturer dealer and quote the recall number. Transport Canada’s own wording is that a manufacturer “will almost always make these repairs free of charge”, so being asked to pay for recall work is unusual and worth questioning. Since 2018 the Minister of Transport can order a company to pay for repairs so owners do not bear the cost.
Note: This lookup is by make, model and year, so it lists every recall issued for that vehicle — not all of which will apply to your exact build. A dealer can confirm what is outstanding on your VIN in a minute.

Why it matters

A loss of steering control could create a risk of a crash.

What the dealer will do

The company will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to replace the right steering rack mounting bolt.

4 August 2021

Transport Canada lists: A4 2021 · A5 2021 · A6 2021 · A7 2021 · and 19 more

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the passenger seat belt assemblies may contain defective automatic locking retractors (ALR). As a result, the seat belts may not properly lock to secure a child seat.

Why it matters

A seat belt that is used to secure a child restraint but is not properly locked could increase the risk of injury in a crash.

What the dealer will do

Audi will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to inspect the seat belts. They will be replaced, if necessary.
