2013 AUDI A6 Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2013 Audi A6 has 4 recalls, the most serious being three separate fire risks: two involve fuel hoses in the engine compartment that can crack or weaken and leak fuel, and a third involves a coolant pump that can block or short-circuit and ignite. The fuel-related concerns cover two distinct points in the fuel delivery system: one hose can degrade over time and weep fuel, while a separate fuel line has a compression point that can weaken and split. Either leak can ignite if it contacts a hot engine surface or other ignition source. The coolant pump issue is unrelated to fuel but carries the same fire risk if the pump fails electrically. There is also a safety equipment concern: the passenger seat contains a body-sensing mat that can wear or develop stress over time, causing the occupant detection system to malfunction and potentially preventing the front passenger airbag from deploying in a crash.
