2022 AUDI Q5 Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2022 Audi Q5 has 10 recalls, the most serious being multiple fire risks: the plug-in hybrid's high-voltage battery can overheat and ignite, and a separate engine oil leak from loose cylinder head cover screws can drip onto hot components and catch fire. The PHEV battery overheat issue has been the subject of prior repair attempts that did not fully resolve the problem, and the current remedy supersedes earlier ones. On the engine side, a fault inside the engine control unit can cause the engine to stall without warning while driving, and separately, liquid reaching the gateway control module, whether from a spill in the rear seat or water seeping through an insufficient body seam, can shut that module down and cause a sudden loss of engine power. Both stall scenarios raise the risk of a crash. Rounding out the list, on Q5 Sportback and SQ5 Sportback models, the rear hatch latch may not have been manufactured correctly and can break or detach in a crash, allowing the hatch to deform further than intended and raising the risk of injury to rear-seat occupants.
