Wow, so early. I wonder if it’s similar to Tesla fires?

DETROIT (AP) — Audi is recalling 265,000 vehicles in the U.S. to fix two issues, a problem with airbags and a wheel trim piece that can fall off and become a hazard on the road.
The largest recall covers certain 2015 through 2019 A3 sedans and convertibles, 2015 and 2016 S3 sedans, the 2016-2018 e-Tron electric SUVs, and 2017 through 2019 RS3 cars. A faulty electrical connection can deactivate the passenger airbag. Dealers will replace an electrical connector starting Aug. 18. The second recall includes 2018 and 2019 Q5 and SQ5 SUVs. A wheel arch cover can detach, possibly hitting other vehicles. Customers may see the cover sticking out or hear wind noise. Dealers will secure it with another screw and nut starting Aug. 2. https://whnt.com/2019/06/27/audi-rec...se-trim-piece/ |

Saw this on Bloomberg when it was announced. Glad they caught this early before anything similar to the BMW debacle took place. For that I give them credit and it seems like they're looking after the impacted owners.
Either way though it's still very sad something like this made it out of the engineering department. Issues will happen but it's seeming all too common these days. |

Now every time I see the word Audi I associate it with the name "Dan". Great.
