Audi Recall Blamed On Coolant Problem

(RTTNews) - Volkswagen Group of America is recalling certain 2010-2013 model Audi A8s manufactured May 15, 2010, to May 14, 2012. More than 9,000 vehicles in the U.S. are reportedly affected by the recall.

The vehicles have a coolant valve that may leak, allowing coolant to enter the engine control module causing a loss of power or the engine to stall increasing the risk of a crash.

Audi will notify owners, and dealers will replace the coolant valve and inspect for coolant that has leaked through the electrical connector, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin October 19, 2016.

Owners may contact Audi customer service at 1-800-253-2834.
