The 2017 Audi Q3 has 3 recalls, the most serious being a brake light failure where using the parking brake during emergency braking causes the brake lights to go dark, giving drivers behind no warning that the vehicle is stopping.
All three recalls involve exterior lighting. On vehicles with LED headlights, a failed front turn signal may not trigger the dashboard indicator light, so the driver can unknowingly change lanes or turn without signaling. There is also a software-related issue where a prior programming update can leave the side marker lights inoperative when the parking lights or headlights are on, making the vehicle harder to see at night.
