Moisture can penetrate into the belt starter generator (RSG – Riemen-Starter-Generator).
This can result in a short circuit, leading to local overheating and increased risk of fire.
Due to the permanent power supply of the starter generator, this can occur when the vehicle has already been parked for a while.
The Audi Q5 models affected by this recall were equipped with 2.0 TFSI engines and Mild-Hybrid systems and manufactured between May 2017 and March 2020.

Please note that the recall may not apply to all vehicles produced in a given period.

After reporting the vehicle's VIN code, you will find out if the defect is present on your car, or if it has already been resolved by the previous owner if the car was purchased second-hand.
