Audi, Porsche recall 32,000 vehicles for misaligned rear axles:

Audi and Porsche are recalling more than 32,000 sedans, coupes and SUVs from the 2020 and 2021 model years to address a rear axle alignment issue that may have been introduced by a previous defect-related repair.

"As a check of the suspension alignment of the rear axle was not included originally when executing recall 42L1, this may result in displacement in the wheel alignment. The result could be premature and uneven wear of the tires leading to a decrease of traction," it said. While less severe than the issue the previous recall addressed, the misaligned rear end can still cause headaches, up to and including premature tire wear and failure. Audi says customers may notice strange steering and braking behavior along with abnormal wear patterns on the rear tire tread. And of course, since that nut was used on just about everything Audi builds, Audi's got a lot of checking-up to do.
