Audi Q5 45 TFSI - UK should be recalled

[JDavies1]

I have evidence of two new Audi Q5 vehicles written off within 15 mins after catching fire for no reason.....Audi havnt issued a recall yet

[Steve Q]

That's quite serious. Has the fire service said what the cause has been? 

Any evidence in other countries? 

What engine and gearbox?

Hi Steve Q, 

Fire service just put out fires as I think its down to manufacturers to forensically examine car wrecks ....both these cars are new (I know the second one below was Nov 22 - S Line 45 TFSI model) but cars shouldn't just catch fire....not even 1

In US and Canada it appears Q5 have been recalled due to "potential fire risk" although I cant be certain this is related

I'm just caught up having lost £10k because the Q5 parked next to me and think this is not right and Audi need to respond to prevent any future events

I had a BMW X5 catch fire and written off.
