ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM
A blocked pump or a short-circuited pump can increase the risk of a fire.
5 safety recall campaigns, 134 owner complaints filed with NHTSA.
Complaints are reports from owners of this model year, not findings about any particular vehicle, and a model that sold in large numbers will collect more of them. They are counted here as filed; nothing is inferred from them.
A blocked pump or a short-circuited pump can increase the risk of a fire.
The melted wires can increase the risk of a fire.
A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of a fire.
An inflator rupture may result in metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants resulting in serious injury or death.
If the coolant pump overheats, it can increase the risk of a fire.
Two 2014 AUDI Q5s can have entirely different histories, and a recall campaign usually covers a build-date window rather than a whole model year — which a VIN does not encode, so only the door-jamb label settles it. Scanning the VIN adds the decode, the crash tests, the fuel economy and the complaints matched to that exact engine, trim and assembly plant.
