2021 AUDI Q5 Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2021 Audi Q5 has 5 recalls, with three posing fire or sudden power-loss risks: a high-voltage battery that can overheat and catch fire, engine connecting rod bearings that can fail and cause an oil-fed fire or abrupt loss of power, and a gateway control module that shuts down when exposed to liquid and cuts engine power without warning. Two recalls involve the seats and restraints. The front seat frame and backrest adjuster may have inadequately welded joints that can break in a rear-end collision, reducing the support holding an occupant in place. There is also a seatbelt concern: the passenger-side belt's automatic locking retractor can fail to lock properly, meaning a child safety seat secured with that belt may not stay anchored in a crash.
