AUDI Q5 SPORTBACK Recalls

The Audi Q5 Sportback has 1 recall covering 2021-2023 model years, where connecting rod bearings inside the engine can wear and fail, causing the engine to stall while driving and raising the risk of a crash; if the failure also causes an oil leak, a fire can follow. When the bearings fail, the engine can seize or shut down without warning, leaving the driver without power in traffic or at speed. An oil leak accompanying that failure brings hot oil into contact with engine heat sources, creating a secondary fire risk even after the vehicle stops.
