Details

What's wrong: Volkswagen group of america, Inc. (Audi) is recalling certain 2018-2019 Audi rs5 Coupe vehicles. An incorrect positive battery terminal cover was installed.

Why it matters: In the event of a rear crash, the incorrect cover can cause the 12-volt power supply to be compromised, preventing the vehicle doors from being opened from the outside, or the hazard warning lights from functioning, increasing risk of injury.

The fix: Audi will notify owners, and dealers will replace the positive terminal cover, free of charge. The recall began January 19, 2021.
