SUSPENSION:FRONT
- The defect
- Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. (Volkswagen) is recalling certain 2022 Audi E-Tron GT vehicles. The retaining ring on the air suspension struts may come loose.
- What it can cause
- A loose retaining ring may allow air to escape, compromising vehicle handling and increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will inspect and replace the air suspension struts as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed January 27, 2022. Owners may contact Audi customer service at 1-800-253-2834. Volkswagen's number for this recall is 42L2.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 10 vehicles this is a small campaign: 92% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2022, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2021, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Audi vehicles have been recalled over the suspension 5 times before this, most recently in April 2021 as 21V295000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 1 model year the campaign names. Their owners have filed 7 complaints with NHTSA.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 12 other recalls published here, the newest being: 25V900000 (back over prevention), 25V227000 (air bags), 24V726000 (electrical system), 24V465000 (service brakes, air).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. with NHTSA on December 1, 2021 as campaign 21V935000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
