The 2023 Audi Q5 Sportback has 2 recalls, both involving engine oil leak risks that can lead to a fire, and one of which can also cause the engine to stall while driving.
The first issue involves the connecting rod bearings inside the engine, which can wear and fail, causing the engine to seize or stall and potentially leak oil onto hot components. The second involves cylinder head cover screws that may not have been tightened properly, allowing oil to seep out and reach surfaces hot enough to ignite it.
