Volkswagen issued a recall December 14, 2009 on the 2009 Audi Q5 manufactured between November 25, 2008 and June 4, 2009. A piece of pillar trim may not have been manufactured correctly, allowing the trim to become loose when the sideguard head protection airbags deploy in a crash. If the trim dislodges when the airbag deploys, it could injure the front seat occupants. This recall involves more than 6,000 vehicles.
Models Recalled: Audi Q5 2009
Remedy: Volkswagen dealers will inspect the pillar trim and if necessary replace it free of charge. The new trim pieces will be available in January 2010. Owners may contact Audi at 1-800-253-2834.
