Audi Recalls Over One Million Vehicles

Relates to a problem with a specific engine.

Audi has announced a global recall involving more than a million vehicles equipped with the company’s 2.0-liter turbocharged TFSI engines. The recall has been triggered by concerns the coolant pump may cause a fire. Ranging from the 2013-2017 A5 and Q5, to the 2013-2016 A4 sedan and Allroad, and the 2012-2015 A6, the recall affects 1.16 million vehicles with faulty coolant pumps. According to Audi the cause of the fire may be short-circuiting or blockage.

Issues have plagued the electric coolant pump fitted in these engines for over a year. In some cases moisture issues have caused the unit to short-circuit which poses a potential fire risk, in other cases a blockage has caused the pump to overheat which makes it prone to immolation. No injuries or crashes related to the issue have been reported. The recall captures 342,000 vehicles in the United States, but Audi hasn't yet announced when parts will become available for the repair. Like with all recalls, dealers will replace the faulty parts free of charge when possible. Audi recalled almost all of these vehicles in January 2017 as it attempted to rectify the issue with a software patch.

The new code would automatically cut power to the coolant pump if debris blocked it, but it turns out it was the moisture that was most damaging. Audi has smartened up and decided to replace the malfunctioning coolant pumps with improved ones equipped with a pressure compensation element to keep moisture away.

Audi Recalls 1.27 Million Cars Around The World

But don't worry, you'll be able to smell if your car is broken.

It's never good when an automaker is forced to recall over 1 million cars. Audi's biggest problem recently has been the repercussions of Dieselgate, but the company has had to deal with a few other recalls. Of all the things that can go wrong with a car, catching fire is probably one of the worst issues. We've seen Mercedes and BMW both issue recalls over possible fire issues, but now it's Audi's turn. Autocar reports that Audi has recalled 1.26 million cars over an electrical issue that could cause a fire.

The 1.27 million cars that are effected by the recall include the A4, A5, A5 Cabriolet and Q5 models built between April 2011 and May 2015. Audi says that the recall is for a fire risk caused by "thermal overload occurring at the plug connectors of the electrical connections in the auxiliary heater due to friction corrosion." The coatings on the connectors also contribute to the fire risk. Friction between the components is created by stress and movement in the components, which create an electrical fire. The recall will fit a new heating element with improved electrical contacts.

Audi says that the recalled cars can still be driven, but owners should pull over immediately if they smell something burning. So far 875,000 cars are affected in Europe, 250,000 in North America and 47,000 in Asia. At least if something is wrong with your Audi, you'll be able to smell it.

GM Recalls One Million Trucks And SUVs Over Power Steering Loss

No power steering could be an issue on a two-ton vehicle.

Just this week, General Motors recalled 230,000 Chevy, Buick, and GMC models over faulty brakes built by Germany's ZF Group. The same recall also affected 150,000 Jeep and Dodge models that used the brakes from the same supplier.

It seems GM isn't quite out of the water yet, because the NHTSA has just issued a recall for 1,015,918 trucks and SUVs from Chevy, GMC, and Cadillac. The recall affects 2015 models of the Chevy Tahoe, Suburban, and Silverado 1500, the GMC Yukon and Sierra 1500, and the Cadillac Escalade, all of which are built on the same platform and use the same electric power steering system.

In certain cases, the electric power steering assist may be lost, then suddenly regained. This issue would make it more difficult to steer the vehicle, especially at low speeds, increasing the risk of an accident. A lack of power steering could be dangerous in any car, but we are talking about vehicles weighing nearly 6,000 pounds, so the risk of having no power steering could be disastrous.

Last year, GM issued a similar recall for 2014 Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra trucks for faulty power steering, though we can't say for sure if these two recalls are related.

So far, GM has not issued a timetable for when this issue will be resolved. The recall notice says "GM will notify owners, and dealers will update the EPS module software, free of charge," but there is no warning that the trucks and SUVs are unsafe to drive. If you do own one of the Chevy, GMC, or Cadillac models affected, just stay alert in case you feel the steering wheel suddenly get heavy, then return to normal.
