Description of the problem	Break make loud squeal sound at low speed. I replaced with rotor and pads but the noise came back a few months later. Tried to work with audi to let them pay for another set of rotor and pads, but they refused. Audi does not consider this is a safety issue, and no solution at this point. However, my wife complained that the noise is changing her driving behavior, as she tends to break less or at the last second in order to lower the noise. At first i don't believe it, but i drove her car one day and quickly adapted to it as the noise is so bad.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
