How do I fix DTC P0420

Hey Scotty, thanks for all you do for the car community! Here’s my question…I have a 2017 Audi Q2 with the 2.0T 4-cycle engine. I’m getting a “check engine” warning light and when I scan the OBD I’m getting code P0420. I changed the Bank 1 O2 sensor and erased the code. The same fault keeps coming back after about 50 miles of driving. What could be causing this? A faulty sensor or something else I should be aware of. Thanks for you help!

What could be causing this?

Did the O2 sensor test as being bad? Have you looked into the possible causes and diagnosis of that code? There are quite a few potential issues, including but not limited to the converter itself.
