Volkswagen Recall: 2012 Audi Q5 Flagged For Faulty Sunroof

Volkswagen is recalling 13,172 vehicles of its latest model, the 2012 Audi Q5, due to a faulty sunroof glass which can break. 

According to the online portal of the National highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA): "Some vehicles may be equipped with a front sunroof glass panel that is susceptible to breakage in extremely cold weather/temperature conditions. Should the sunroof's glass break while the vehicles are in use, the falling glass could cut and injure the driver or passengers. It could also distract the driver, increasing the risk of a crash."

Volkswagen said "it is not aware of any claim of accident or injury caused by this issue. During the 2011-12 winter season, the company received information from dealers regarding a small number of vehicles with broken front sunroof glass panels."

The affected Audi Q5 vehicles, which were built from June 21, 2011 through December 9, 2011, and will be recalled to fix the technical snag.
