Default Another recall - loose front shock absorber

Recalls PROVIDED BY

SUSPENSION:FRONT:SHOCK ABSORBER

I got this off the CR website, and indeed there is another recall (so far, very few cars have been identified). Haven't found any info about it here, but there is a pdf attached regarding what's involved - it only lists 2019 model year cars.

Feb 20 2019

Loose shock absorbers may impair vehicle steering, increasing the risk of crash.

Summary:Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. (Audi) is recalling certain 2019 Q7 and Q8 vehicles. The front shock absorber forks may develop cracks allowing the shock absorbers to loosen.
What should you do:Audi has notified owners, and dealers will replace the shock absorber forks, free of charge.
The recall began March 18, 2019. Owners may contact Audi customer service at 1-800-253-2834. Audi's number for this recall is 40O4. For more information: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.safercar.gov. NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID Number: 19V114000

Potential Number of Units Affected: 22

Your Q7 is a 2018, so I doubt it - but anything is possible

Interesting and definitely something that should be fixed. Not sure of this at all for Audi, but BMW supplies the air suspension for numerous car makers. I wonder if these are Audi IP or supplied.
