NHTSA recall 20V737000
Electrical System, Exterior Lighting · Volkswagen Group of America, Inc.
Details
What's wrong: Volkswagen group of america, Inc. (Audi) is recalling certain 2021 Audi rs5 sportback, 2020-2021 Audi A5 Sportback, and s5 sportback vehicles. The wiring harness for the rear lights could be missing the anti-abrasion protection in the area of the spare wheel well.
Why it matters: Without the scuff protection, the wires may become damaged during a rear crash, disabling the doors from being opened from the outside, causing a loss of hazard lights, and increasing the risk of injury.
The fix: Audi will notify owners, and dealers will apply scuff protection, free of charge. The recall began January 21, 2021.
