Details

What's wrong: Volkswagen group of america, Inc. (Volkswagen) is recalling certain 2020 Audi q8 vehicles. An insufficient weld on a transmission oil pipe may cause the vehicle to leak automatic transmission fluid (atf).

Why it matters: If transmission fluid leaks while driving, the road surface may become slippery, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Volkswagen will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the transmission oil pipe and replace it if necessary, free of charge. The recall began June 12, 2020.
