2015 AUDI Q5 Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2015 Audi Q5 has 4 recalls, with three of them involving airbag inflators that can rupture during deployment and send metal fragments into the cabin, posing a serious injury risk to the driver and front passenger. The airbag concerns come from two distinct problems. In certain vehicles, the seat-mounted inflators for the driver and front passenger can produce excessive pressure during deployment, causing the inflator to burst and either scatter fragments or damage the airbag module enough to prevent it from deploying at all. Separately, water from the sunroof drainage system can soak into the foam around the side head airbag canister, corroding the canister over time until it too can rupture in a crash. The fourth recall involves a fuel pump flange that can crack and allow gasoline to leak, raising the risk of a fire if that fuel reaches an ignition source.
