Audi is recalling 498 model year 2021 E-Tron Quattro and model year 2020-2021 E-Tron Sportback Quattro vehicles.

The automaker said that an improperly welded rotor and shaft may separate within the integrated brake system.

Separation of the rotor and shaft may cause a reduction in braking assistance and a loss of the Antilock Brake System (ABS) and Electronic Stability Control (ESC), increasing the risk of a crash.

In connection with what to do in rectifying the errors, Audi noted that dealers would replace the brake booster free of charge.

Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed September 24, 2021.

Affected vehicle owners may contact Audi Customer Service on (800) 253-2834, and the number for this recall is 47R1.
