JAIPUR: Audi India Thursday announced to recall of premium SUV Q7 manufactured between March and December 2012 due to brake system flaw.
The automaker is recalling 382 units of Q7 as a part of global exercise under which company is calling back about 70,000 units of A4, A5, A6 and A7 saloons and Q5 and Q7 in SUV segment to replace the vacuum line in braking system.
The dealers will contact the respective Q7 owners for arranging appointment at workshop. According to the company, the process will roughly take half an hour and will be carried out free of cost.

The trained mechanics at Audi’s authorised workshop will also check the brake booster system for any oil contamination which will be replaced if required.
